Science, engineering, entrepreneurship, writing, and building at the intersection of energy and data.
Currently, I'm a cofounder and CTO at a stealth startup, architecting scalable web applications with modern technology stacks. Our work leverages data visualization, API integrations, and robust frontend frameworks to deliver insights at the nexus of energy infrastructure and data analytics.
Previously, while working as a research assistant in a Neuroscience addiction lab and for the Institute for Arctic and Alpine Research (where I went to the Arctic Circle!), I helped build a Futurism startup aimed at educating people about emerging trends. From that foray into science and trend analysis at a startup, I entered the tech industry, working as a Technical Writer at Google, a Digital Product Manager at Privacy Co., and a Technical Writer at Microsoft focusing on immersive technologies like HoloLens, Microsoft Mixed Reality, and Microsoft Mesh.
Feb 2022-Oct 2024
At Microsoft I worked on Mixed Reality, HoloLens and MRTK (Mixed Reality Toolkit) then Microsoft Mesh where I brought my augmented reality experience to corporate, developer, and end-user audiences. During my tenure, I led the architecting, creation, and maintenance of content docsets for User, IT Admin, and Business Decision Maker peronas across platforms like Microsoft Learn (10k visitors/month), Microsoft Support (140k page views/month), and Microsoft Adoption. To grow adoption of immersive experiences and technologies, I worked cross-functionally (UI/Design, Engineering, PM, UX Research) to implement process and create tools (Power Platform, Azure DevOps, One Customer Voice) that enhanced productivity, organizational visibility, and stakeholder feedback.

This project is a decentralized freelance contract platform that enables clients to create, deploy, and manage custom contracts on the Ethereum blockchain with full transparency. Using a factory contract, clients can initiate smart contracts with freelancers, secure funds in escrow, and handle milestones and payment releases automatically. The React frontend integrates seamlessly with MetaMask, allowing users to connect wallets, initiate and track contracts, and ensure payment flows securely and transparently. Designed for efficient collaboration, the DApp demonstrates expertise in Solidity, Ethereum, and decentralized finance solutions.

As a challenge, I was tasked with creating a written piece to go along with the data analysis that you can see above. The challenge was to interpret the data and write an article in a style that matched other articles from "company x" that would be useful, unique, and insightful for their readership. The article ends at about 600 words, which was the cap for the challenge, so I end the article prematurely. Due to the repetitive nature of listing off and formatting data, the article was left unfinished with the assumption that readers could envision what other data could be included and what it would look like.

Biogenic volatile organic compound ambient mixing ratios and emission rates in the Alaskan Arctic tundra. Abstract: Rapid Arctic warming, a lengthening growing season, and increasing abundance of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC)-emitting shrubs are all anticipated to increase atmospheric BVOCs in the Arctic atmosphere, with implications for atmospheric oxidation processes and climate feedbacks. Quantifying these changes requires an accurate understanding of the underlying processes driving BVOC emissions in the Arctic. https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/17/6219/2020/
