Hello, I'm Nico Mannarelli
I'm a computer science and math student passionate about systems programming, quantum machine learning, and defense technology. I enjoy building performant systems and exploring the intersection of quantum computing and ML.
Recent Experience:
- Research Assistant at ARLIS – quantum machine learning for intelligence analysis
- Quantum Benchmarking toolkit
- Built a bird species detection app using YOLOv8
- Compiler development – implementing functional language features
- Grover's search simulation in a search-and-rescue environment
When I'm not coding, I enjoy reading about quantum machine learning, exploring low-level system architectures, and contributing to defense technology research projects.
What I've Built:
- Quantum Benchmarking Toolkit – April 2026
- Training YOLOv8 on NABirds Dataset – October, 2025
- Earthquake Activity Analysis using ML – July, 2025
- UMD Math Resource Website – November, 2025
- Quantum ML Portfolio – July, 2024
