Welcome to
my world.
Chemical engineer, founder and traveller. Spin the globe through the places that have shaped me — a startup in San Francisco, the universities and labs in between, and half a year overland through the Americas.
01 — Experiences

02 — Founding
San Francisco
California, USA
Building the operating layer for chemical manufacturers and distributors, one of the most regulated industries in the world. It's the economy that powers our day-to-day lives — from the moment you wake up to everything we use.
I wanted to build for this industry specifically, as they're the building blocks for everything that goes on in the world.

The Americas
Mexico to Brazil, overland
I took half a year out of uni to do this route — to learn some Spanish, hit some cool surf spots, meet great people, and eat fantastic food.
Pick a stop, or just keep scrolling — the globe follows along.

Let's talk.
Always happy to chat about climate tech, engineering, founding, or where to go next.
