Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSamarth Sandeep is a founder-CEO and quantum bioinformatics entrepreneur with 11 years of experience applying quantum algorithms to real-world life science problems, from protein pruning and SARS-CoV-2 binding studies to glycan and radical-pair modeling. He leads If and Only If Technologies, deploying QAOA/GBS-based platforms across superconducting, ion-trap, photonic, and annealing systems on cloud and HPC stacks, and previously supported quantum use cases at Deloitte. Equally at home in software and hardware, his background spans backend/blockchain development, mobile engineering, and computational materials modeling, anchored by a BS in Materials Engineering from UC Davis. He also co-chairs a California ecological resilience nonprofit, blending regenerative agriculture practice with innovative fundraising models like community land trusts. Notably, his early ambition to build a seawater-powered car helped seed a career that bridges quantum sensing, biomaterials, and practical engineering incubation. Based in Pleasanton, he actively seeks collaborations that unite quantum processing, quantum sensors, and life-science impact.
