02Trained in biotechnology, works in climate policy. Research sits at the intersection of environmental policy, agriculture, energy, and carbon markets — with a particular focus on nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas most people have never heard of and most farmers can't afford to reduce.

First project
Thundertigers
A youth-led tiger conservation campaign, started at twelve with a schoolfriend — volunteer campaigning and fundraising for tigers in India, run out of thundertigers.net. The first thing he built to put a question in front of people rather than keep it to himself.
Fig. 4 — For Fun
04Photographs lunar eclipses, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, the Orion Nebula, wildlife, birds. Used to write poetry. Now mostly writes essays and builds curiosity-driven side projects — a package, a dashboard, whatever the question needs. The pattern's the same either way: find something tangled, work it down to something simple, put it out in the open.
