I enjoy finding combinatorial solutions to big problems, integrating the latest digital and physical technologies to craft enjoyable experiences that benefit the public good. Reach out if you'd like to learn more about any projects in my portfolio.
Web design & development
Webpage build for Keep Cool newsletter
I built a new custom subscribe page for my favorite climate tech newsletter, Keep Cool, using Next.js + Tailwind.
A million thanks to Brett for crafting this beautiful site for my labor of love. I'm beyond happy with it, especially the touching reader testimonial section.
Techno-economic analysis
TEA: Flexible GPU clusters as distributed energy resources
I completed a techno-economic analysis (TEA) for a proposed company called "Nth Power," a distributed GPU cloud provider and Virtual Power Plant (VPP) operator for grid operators, utilities, and clean energy companies.
Techno-economic analysis
TEA: Thermal battery charging using waste-heat from data centers
I completed a techno-economic analysis (TEA) for a proposed company called "Aether Thermal," who uses the waste heat from data centers to charge low-temperature thermal batteries for distribution to consumers in local communities.
Customer acquisition
Chapter author, "Establishing First Customers"
Deep tech ventures, characterized by cutting-edge scientific and technological innovations, can face unique hurdles when it comes to customer acquisition.
This book is more than a collection of theories; it is a practical, evolving guide designed to navigate complex decision making processes in the world of deep tech entrepreneurship.
Technical scoping
Scoping: Sustainable data centers
I completed a robust technical scoping of processes and technologies to enable sustainable data centers, identifying key constraints and proposing novel solutions.
We take a solution-pull approach to solving the world's largest problems, starting with the desired outcome for an area and determining the optimal solution to that state.
Technical scoping
Scoping: Critical material extraction
I completed a robust technical scoping of critical material extraction processes and constraints, focusing on sustainable solutions to shore up key supply chains.
AI & automation
Automations for deep tech entrepreneurs
In this rapidly advancing world of automation and AI, my goal with this project was to ensure that my own processes and workflows could scale at the same rate as the technology around me.
With that as my north star, I built 20+ workflow automations using widely available low-code tooling, all tailored towards the modern deep tech entrepreneur.
Brett's automations create an impressive capability, and I'm excited about the possibilities they open up for us as founders. Thanks Brett for bringing these tools to DSV!
3D design
An impactful digital avatar platform
Our digital personas are quietly becoming more visible and consequential than our physical selves. This fundamental change offers an unprecedented opportunity to reshape the ways we assign value as a global community.
What if our ability to buy clothes, cars, houses, and other status symbols was purely determined by our measurable good deeds and community service? That's what your Counterparts avatar represents.
Web3 development
Funding science through generative art
There is an estimated 16 trillion dollar global funding gap for scientific research.
inTheory Research presents an alternative method for science funding. By leveraging community inertia, amplified by the latest in web3 and generative AI technology, inTheory allows users to own a piece of the fundamental research they believe in by simply collecting project-inspired artworks.
Celo Innovation Award Winner
Molecular dynamics simulations
Grain boundary motion in FCC crystals: a molecular dynamics study
The completion of this project, which was conducted over two summers as a researcher at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, marked the completion of my MS in Materials Science from UCLA.
