Canopy Intelligence · Work with me

Canopy Intelligence

My product line reads open satellite imagery through ecological models to deliver answers at the scale of a single tree or parcel: what your canopy is worth, which trees are at risk, what to plant, and where the rules bite.

Selected Engagements

[Carbon Risk Review] Evaluated methodology eligibility and model risk exposure for a multi-million-dollar environmental asset transaction.
[Model Development] Added the SPITFIRE fire model to LPJ-EOSIM for Spark Climate's Warming-Induced Emissions Model Intercomparison Project (WIE-MIP) — a process-based wildfire module extending a global land-surface model's fire-disturbance capabilities.
[Operational Systems] Built production ML and reporting pipelines across tens of thousands of acres, reducing manual reporting by 50%.
[Technical Leadership] Directed PhD-level teams delivering versioned, production-grade analytical systems.

My toolkit covers ecological & carbon modeling, uncertainty quantification, technical due diligence, machine learning, Python/R/C++, and cloud infrastructure.
