About Me

Hi! I'm Lucas, a recent graduate from the University of Wisconsin - Madison with degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics. I'm currently pursuing a Master's in Quantum Computing at UW-Madison. I'm passionate about using technology to solve problems and create meaningful experiences, I'm currently seeking full-time or internship opportunities starting in fall 2025.

Previously, I worked as a software engineering intern at vRad (Virtual Radiologic), where I built full-stack teleradiology software. I also led a team a team as an AI researcher and software manager in the school of Educational Psychology, developing LLM powered educational tools used in published research.

These days, I'm working on research at the intersection of machine learning and quantum computing. I'm also the founder of Blur, a student only anonymous social media app focused on campus community and authenticity. We grew the pre-launch community to over 2,500 students, joined a local startup accelerator, and received a $5K grant to support our development.

In my free time, I enjoy working on side projects, solving Rubik's cubes, playing video games, reading, golfing, and spending time with friends and family.
