What I'm looking for

I seek roles applying geospatial and energy analytics to climate and policy challenges, with collaborative teams, clear impact on emissions or grid decarbonization, and opportunities to build scalable data tools and influence decisions.

I am an environmental data scientist with strong expertise in geospatial analysis, energy systems, and emissions accounting. I build reproducible Python and SQL data pipelines, develop dashboards for stakeholders, and translate technical results into policy-relevant recommendations.

At Duke and the University of Washington I focused on Environmental Analytics, Modeling, and Energy, applying skills to projects like datacenter electrification strategies and distributed energy resource rate design. I have delivered tools and dashboards that improved operational visibility and reduced data retrieval time for city and utility teams.

I emphasize rigorous validation and uncertainty analysis to support decision-making, and I combine modeling, optimization, and visualization to inform equitable energy and climate policy choices.
