I take on work in three areas. Each combines domain knowledge with the engineering needed to put a model in front of the people making the decision, and each is backed by a system already running.

Energy and infrastructure analytics

Load growth forecasting, zonal vulnerability and siting analysis, interconnection queue modeling, and price and volatility work. Built for a market where grid capacity, not capital, has become the constraint on where compute gets built.

Finance and valuation

Risk, volatility, and valuation work grounded in graduate economics and prior experience on mergers, acquisitions, and portfolio transactions rather than assembled from off-the-shelf indicators.

Document intelligence

Retrieval-augmented systems for legal, regulatory, and procedural material, designed so outputs stay traceable to a source and a reviewer can check the reasoning instead of trusting it.

Delivery

An analysis that stays in a notebook does not change a decision. Every engagement ends with something usable: a documented model, a deployed application, or both. The systems listed underwork are all running and open to inspection.

Engagement shapes

Analysis
A defined question answered with a documented model and a written result.
Build
A model delivered as a deployed application your team can actually use.
Advisory
Ongoing review of method and interpretation for an in-house team.
