Biography
Hi, my name is Bas. I am a: Python and open-source enthusiast, Ph.D. in theoretical quantum mechanics, and full-time nerd. I live in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Here (or here ) are some pretty pictures that I took, this is where I did my Ph.D., I work at Microsoft Quantum , and see my LinkedIn for some technical details on my daily activities.

instacron: Instagram for the lazy - automatically upload a photo to Instagram with autogenerated caption containing #hashtags, a quote, and camera information 📸🌅
Topology in condensed matter course
Tying Quantum Knots. An online course for which I wrote a lot of code. See the course website which is generated using these Jupyter notebooks.
Adaptive-scheduler
adaptive-scheduler: Run simulations adaptively on many cores (>10k) and easily manage starting and restarting using mpi4py.futures, ipyparallel, or dask-mpi 🎉
Home Assistant
Many things in my house are automated using the Python Home Assistant framework. I’ve built some interseting automations and app, see my config files and AppDaemon apps 🏠 🤖
ipynb_git_filters
ipynb_git_filters: remove ipynb’s output on each commit to keep a clean history. Not very smart but very useful 🤖

python-hpc05
hpc05: a thin wrapper around ipyparallel to easily start workers remotely on a HPC cluster 🖥
Photography
The hobby
I enjoy traveling and photography.
The best photos I would like to to share with the world, however, the problem is that I am to lazy too do so, therefore I wrote a program (instacron ) that will do that job for me.
It takes a photo and adds: a random quote, camera and location info, and #hashtags related to the photo.
