My career has been spent where software meets the physical world.
I did my PhD on the CMS detector at CERN, arguably the most complicated machine in the world, and then wanted to put those skills toward a bigger purpose. Today I lead engineering at Chloris Geospatial, where we measure the world's forest carbon from space.
Experience
-
2022 – now
Head of Engineering · Chloris Geospatial
I joined in 2022 and spent most of my time since on the platform that turns petabytes of satellite imagery into carbon-stock maps of the whole planet, 25 years deep. Now I lead the team that builds it.

2016 – 2022
PhD, then postdoc · UCLA and CERN
My thesis had two halves: a pattern-recognition algorithm that looks for muons 40 million times a second, and a search through petabytes of LHC data for a long-lived particle that could point to dark matter.
