Jose is a systems engineer with a knack for making quantum technologies work—in the real world and in space. He played a key role in shaping the European Quantum Communication Infrastructure (EuroQCI) User Requirements Document from the very start and led the LuxQCI roadmap definition. With hands-on experience as a space systems engineer, he now supports industry and member states at ESA, helping them navigate the uncharted waters of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and Quantum Computing-exploring what they can (and maybe can’t) do.

He’s shared insights at DEFCON, demonstrated quantum cryptography using nothing but playing cards, and even exchanged quantum-secured keys over a transatlantic video call-without a single trusted node in sight or laser.

When he’s not wrangling quantum tech, Jose is probably tinkering with new ideas, pushing boundaries just enough to keep things interesting.
