I build technology tackling climate change. For the last four years that meant plasma cameras (ask me about bolometry!) with the SPARC Diagnostics team at Commonwealth Fusion Systems. Before that, I worked on robots - surgical simulation, quadrotor swarms, and flight controls for electric aircraft.

I want a world resilient to climate change, where people flourish in work, in play, and in community. My piece of that is making cutting-edge tech into cheap-and-robust tech.

I'm looking for my next role developing climate technology (ideally early-stage, ideally near Boston, MA). If you'd like to chat, drop me a line.
