Inventor on 5 renewable energy patents (2 pending, currently owned; 3 acquired). Founding data scientist at two tech organizations: A unicorn and a climate tech company. PhD from Princeton in Operations Research and Financial Engineering. Two-time gold medalist at the International Astrophysics Olympiads.
I specialize in translating rigorous models—optimization, network control, and machine learning—into software that operates at scale. At Avantus, I led the development of patented systems for coordinating renewable power plant fleets, boosting revenue through smarter network-level decisions. At Convoy, I built predictive and prescriptive models that reshaped how freight networks are evaluated and optimized.
I have the most fun at the intersection of R&D and engineering. If you’re working on novel infrastructure, clean energy systems, or optimization-heavy applications, I’d love to connect.
