I build data and AI systems in hard domains — climate, carbon markets, agriculture at scale. Currently: building a personal multi-agent AI system for knowledge work, and developing a music-based typing trainer at the intersection of music and machine learning.
Looking for: founding engineer roles at AI startups, and director-level engineering or data leadership at climate-tech companies.
AI agent system for knowledge work — A personal software factory: specialized agents with defined roles — product, research, implementation, review — that coordinate to help me build reliable software quickly. Backed by a structured knowledge repository, so agents draw on project context and accumulated decisions, not just the internet and training data.
keybr-music — A fork of keybr that I'm developing into a music-based typing trainer. My own concept, developed using my software factory — delegated automation with human-in-the-loop where it matters.
Bird Vocalization Classification — TensorFlow classifier that identifies bird species from audio recordings. Built a live dashboard. The audio classification problem is more interesting than it looks: variable-length signals, overlapping calls, long-tail class distributions.
emissions-bulb — Real-time CO₂ emissions data from the Sense Energy Monitor API, visualized as a smart bulb. Climate data at the household level.
geospatial-python — Geospatial analysis and visualization in Python. Relevant to land-use, forestry, and carbon project work.
TickTickToOmniFocus4 — OmniFocus plugin that imports TickTick CSV exports. Small utility, but I needed it, so I built it.
I write about applied data science, ML engineering, and building diverse technical teams on Medium — published in Towards Data Science, Analytics Vidhya, and The Startup.
