Work With Me
I help mission-driven teams translate complex data and ideas into clarity that people can act on.
What I’m best at
Turning complexity into decision‑ready insight—without oversimplifying the hard parts. My work sits at the intersection of science, systems thinking, and communication.
I focus on:
- Translation: bridging technical work and non‑technical decision‑making
- Compression: reducing noise to the few variables that actually matter
- Alignment: clarifying goals, tradeoffs, constraints, and next steps
Problems I can help with
- “We have lots of data, but no clear direction.”
- “We’re doing meaningful work, but we’re stuck on prioritization.”
- “Our strategy feels scattered and our ideas don’t cohere into a plan.”
- “We need to communicate something complex to non‑experts without losing nuance.”
- “We’re moving fast and need a sanity check on assumptions and tradeoffs.”
Ways to work together
I don’t operate as a long‑term embedded consultant. I prefer bounded engagements that produce clear artifacts your team can keep using after I’m gone.
Decision Brief (1–2 pages)
A short, structured document that synthesizes the situation, highlights what matters, surfaces tradeoffs, and proposes reasonable next steps.
Best for: leadership decisions, prioritization, roadmap choices, stakeholder alignment.
Learning Arc / Curriculum Outline
A structured sequence that turns a complex topic into a coherent mental model—designed for reuse in education, outreach, onboarding, or internal training.
Best for: science outreach, educational initiatives, internal learning programs.
Clarity Session (60–90 minutes)
A facilitated conversation to frame the real problem, refine questions, identify constraints, and unblock next steps.
Best for: stalled projects, early‑stage ideas, research direction, team alignment.
How I work
- I optimize for clarity over speed or scale.
- I prefer asynchronous work where possible.
- I value small, focused engagements over ongoing dependency.
- I take rigor seriously, and care deeply about how ideas land with real people.
- I give it my full effort (and then some) in whatever project I take on.
Why me
I’m a PhD student in Planetary Science & Astrobiology at Purdue University, where I build computational pipelines to model complex chemical systems and translate raw outputs into mission‑relevant recommendations. I’ve also worked in industry as a Technical Solutions Engineer at Epic Systems, solving high‑stakes, systems‑level problems.
Across research, software solutions, and communication, the common thread is this: I’m good at making complex things legible so better decisions can be made.
