Turning physics, maps, and AI into products people rely on.

From a Ph.D. in earth and ocean sciences to thirteen years modeling natural hazards and building geospatial platforms — now running three products solo with AI agents.

3 live products, run solo 13 yrs research → production Nationwide impact, built & operated with AI agents

Built and run solo — the part of my work you can click.

Agentic AI

Agentic workflows and automation with real product sense.

2M+entities modeled end to end by an agentic ML framework
3live products operated day to day by Claude Code automations

Geospatial engineering

Large-scale geo data processing and aggregation that stays fast and cheap.

100+ TBglobal rasters processed & aggregated, no GPU clusters
PB-scalecolumnar geo queries — H3 · STAC · Zarr · DuckDB

Natural-hazard modeling

Flood and climate risk — from physics simulators to production ML.

2countries — flood prediction ML serving Japan & the US nationwide
2 of 3largest US banks, plus Fortune 100 firms, use the climate risk product I led

Data science

ML and deep learning, end to end — and the teams that ship them.

$5Mstartup Series A underpinned by the flood ML pipeline I scaled
6person science team led as DS manager, mentoring 2 to senior

Product engineering

Cross-functional shipping — data pipeline to map UI to growth metrics.

0 → 1repeatedly — idea to production, data pipeline to map UI
1,500+subscribers & 10K+ weekly visits — success measured in the open
