Senior🎓
Top SchoolMason Christensen is a Senior Application Developer with eight years of experience building production software that bridges classical and quantum computing, currently developing customer-facing applications and contributing to D-Wave’s open-source Ocean tool stack. He combines a BS in Mathematics from the University of Washington with hands-on engineering in Python, Cython, and C++, delivering private and public demos, client-driven features, and internal tooling. His background includes lab-focused Python automation at Microsoft’s quantum group and machine learning work involving TensorFlow and image augmentation, giving him a rare mix of experimental lab automation, ML pipeline experience, and applied physics intuition. Mason regularly collaborates across hiring, training, marketing, and live events, and has a track record of turning research-grade capabilities into practical, deployable software. Based in Kent, WA, he’s comfortable moving between low-level performance work and high-level client engagement, often surfacing non-obvious tradeoffs between quantum and classical approaches.
