Academically trained in mechanical and aerospace engineering, professional breadth of experience in space systems, specializing in applications of Operations Research. Fanatically obsessed with efficiency, transparency, and flexibility.

Future ambitions are centered on the convergence of atmospheric/climate/weather models and resource (energy, water, etc.) transport and storage.
