At Payne Institute for Public Policy & SMC, I built DCF, valuation, and cost models, along with Excel and Python models and Power BI dashboards using data on production, costs, prices, and trade. My analysis included forecasting and scenario work, and I wrote reports and briefings that turned financial and policy findings into actionable recommendations.
At Xplarion, I co-founded an AI mineral exploration platform and built business and financial models for fundraising and client discussions. I co-led a four-person team that took the platform from concept to enterprise pilots, while developing proposals and engaging companies and government partners across North America and Africa.
Earlier, as a Geological Engineer and Project Consultant, I managed technical programs across concurrent sites and analyzed field, laboratory, and cost data for feasibility studies and investment decisions. I also trained and led field teams; GEOSEC named me Employee of the Year in 2022, crediting the work with a 30% improvement in drilling success and a 25% reduction in project time.
