Alex joined OQC as a Junior DevOps Engineer and is part of a team that is helping to build a Quantum Computing platform using the best DevOps practices.

Before joining OQC, Alex completed his Masters Degree in Physics from the University of Nottingham. He enjoyed studying large cosmological phenomena like inflation down the quantum realm of nuclear magnetic resonance imaging. He then decided to explore the world of IT by working in Cloud Operations and OpenShift engineering for the UK public and private sectors. Alex was part of teams that monitored and ensured a large multi-cloud infrastructure remained operational as well as deployment and maintenance of OpenShift clusters. After missing the world of physics since University, Alex is looking to combine his two biggest passions together by ensuring Quantum computing services remain operational and secure in the cloud.
