Hi, I'm Raj. I work on AI Silicon and Quantum Computing.

By day I'm a product engineer at Cerebras, where I bring up and characterize wafer-scale AI systems. By night, I'm a graduate student at the University of Waterloo, where I'm building a toolchain that streamlines the process of building fabrication variance-robust quantum circuits. During my graduate studies, I've also prioritized developing infrastructure for quantum research labs.

In my personal time, I try to explore diverse interests, such as crocheting, watchmaking, and playing piano. I also strongly believe in contributing to my community: I'm currently a TLC cat foster for my local humane society.

Please feel free to reach out to me if there's anything I can do to help or if you want to just connect!
