What I'm looking for

I'm looking for deep-tech co-founders in robotics, embedded systems, cleantech, or industrial automation who have a working product and need commercial infrastructure. I'm also open to co-founder conversations and commercial operator opportunities in deep tech.

At Stealth Startup, I built an AI agent platform that automates buyer discovery, outreach, and follow-up for deep-tech IP. I tested the end-to-end pipeline on real technical use cases, including advanced battery materials, and am in early conversations with founders about first paying pilots.

As a DevOps Consultant at Freelance, I partner with startups on cloud architecture and production infrastructure. My work includes multi-account environments, Terraform patterns, and security-hardened Kubernetes platforms; outcomes listed include a 60% reduction in critical incidents and full pipeline automation.

At Made 2 Automate, I handled technical sales cycles for factory automation systems, from requirements gathering through post-deployment support. I translated PLC, SCADA, and cloud infrastructure architectures into buyer-specific value propositions for manufacturing environments.

At WorldQuant, I achieved Gold Level in its quantitative finance competition by developing and validating alpha-generating trading models. I continued working on alpha research and model optimization after the competition.
