Welcome, human! I'm Mark 👋
I'm a theoretical physicist by training and entrepreneur & pythonista by choice. I co-founded the Toronto-based biotech startup ProteinQure where we built one of the world's first computational platforms for protein therapeutics (think 3D CAD for molecules) and the Quantum Open Source Foundation. Nowadays, I spent most of my time building a molecular database with mongoengine, petascale drug discovery workflows using Argo, multi-property optimization algorithms using deap as well as quantum-classical hybrid networks with PennyLane and TensorFlow Quantum.

💬 Ask me about Python, quantum computing, open source software, 3D printing and my many hobbies📫 Talk to me on the QOSF Slack channel⚡ Fun fact: I like surfing the Great Lakes in the middle of winter.
Snapshot:
💻 My current favourite open source project is VCVRack - A virtual modular Eurorack synthesizer🌱 I’m currently learning: modular synthesis, ice lead climbing, Colemak-DHm👯 I’m looking to collaborate on Quantum Open Source Software🤔 I’m looking for help with some QOSF projects revolving around quantum software⌨️ My work setup consists of: Moonlander MK 1 split keyboard & Kensington SlimBlade Trackball🖨️ I’m currently 3D printing knobs and stands for the Teenage Engineering OP-Z🎮 I’m currently playing Half-Life: Alyx VR🚐 I’m currently climbing frozen waterfalls in Canada
