I build software for the physical world, from power grids to ecosystems, and the businesses that fund it.

Experience

  1. Jan 2026 to now · Denton, TXCo-founder & COO, Fluxera

    An AI grid optimization platform for hyperscale data centers facing tight power limits. I built the performance-based revenue model and the investor pitch, and positioned us against two funded incumbents, Emerald AI and Verrus. Top 5 finalist at the 2026 Innovate UNT Pitch Competition, where we won $5,000 as the only high school team in the finals.

  2. Sep 2024 to Sep 2026 · University of North TexasUndergraduate research fellow, environmental toxicology

    Studied how 6PPD-quinone, a tire-derived pollutant linked to mass coho salmon die-offs, affects amphibian development. I built eight 1,200-liter outdoor mesocosms for field-realistic exposure, measured swim performance and aerobic scope, ran tissue analysis by GC-MS and FTIR, and designed the RNA-seq workflow. Presented at the Yale Undergraduate Research Conference.

  3. 2025 to now · Prosper, TXIndependent consultant, local business operations & web

    Built production websites for three local businesses: Dacruz Barber & Co., Sake Sushi Hibachi Steakhouse, and Firehouse Shaved Ice. I also run business administration for Dacruz, and kept a restaurant's online orders live through a dead point-of-sale system until its Toast migration.

  4. Aug 2024 to Aug 2025 · Prosper, TXFounder, EcoSG

    A sustainable investing platform that puts ESG accountability next to financial returns. Over 12 months I built the product concept, the financial data architecture, and an ESG scoring method that shows the user every weighting, unlike the opaque composite scores of incumbent raters.

About me

I'm a student at UT Austin who likes problems where software meets the physical world. I co-founded Fluxera, which moves AI computing to wherever power is cheapest, and I research how AI can help environmental toxicology. On the side I build tools for markets, like ecosg and Quantify.

I'm always up for a coffee chat, especially about energy, climate, or markets. If you're in Austin, let's meet in person.
