Hi, I'm
Physicist turned product builder. I translate hard science into things people can actually use.
Revived and deployed a wildfire ember spread model that became a company's flagship product. Trained Type 2 Wildland Firefighter.
Contributed to the world's most precise Higgs boson mass measurement at CERN. Started as a chemist, ended up smashing particles.
Founded a consulting practice spanning neurology, finance, renewables, and genetics. I like hard problems in unfamiliar territory.
Currently deep into behavioral psychology, agentic AI, and nuclear energy. Consistently curious since 1990.
SkyTL · Tampa, FL
Promoted from Software Architect. Brought a defunct 5,000-line wildfire model back to life, deployed it on Kubernetes/GCP, and turned it into the company's flagship product. Became the go-to contact for the U.S.'s largest private wildfire risk firm. Secured the company's first non-SBIR contract.
DevelopYours · Gainesville, FL
Freelance consulting across 10+ sectors. Secured 7 client contracts, recruited 3 developers, built 6 startup partnerships. Owned every piece of the business: scoping, contracts, delivery, payroll.
Fire Neural Network · Gainesville, FL
Managed ML project segmenting wildfire burn scars in satellite imagery (80% Jaccard index). Bridged data science and executive leadership. Built relationships with Microsoft, NVIDIA, IBM, Esri, and Planet Labs.
CMS Experiment, CERN / University of Florida
Built statistical frameworks in C++/Python for the Higgs boson mass measurement. Improved muon momentum resolution by 20%. Co-authored in the European Physical Journal C. Presented to the 4,000-member CMS collaboration.

Collect, organize, and analyze data to find the wisest path forward.
Python scripts, Bash, Excel macros — if it's repetitive, I'll automate it.
Encrypted, self-hosted setups for people who want their tech independence back.
Chemistry, calculus, physics, programming — I've got four teaching awards to back it up.
