About

I studied engineering physics and operations research at Case Western Reserve University, a pairing that set the shape of everything that followed: take a physical system seriously, then ask what can actually be computed about it.

My career has moved across aerospace at Pratt and Whitney, public transit, energy software, and independent consulting. Each move was a move toward the same thing from a different angle, a working understanding of how technical systems behave and how the people building them make decisions about them.

Today my work sits at the intersection of technical product management and numerical simulation. I co-founded WellFed.io, a food donation logistics platform, and write Weekly Catalysts, a Substack covering quantitative finance research and macro analysis. The threads are different on the surface and the same underneath: model the system, check the model against the world, decide what to do next.

The longer arc is deep space propulsion. I want to contribute to it through simulation methods that are more accurate, more honest about their assumptions, and more useful to the engineers who depend on them.
