Superpower:

My background is in Math and Computer Science and I am primarily interested in quantum algorithms, so I can mainly help with quantum programming and quantum algorithms, especially for solving combinatorial optimization problems. I have experience with quantum annealing, QAOA, VQE, and their variants. As a frequent participant and mentor in other hackathons, I can also help with the general organization of your teams and your work.
