I model constrained systems.
Now I’m building for the scarcest one.

Six years across industry and research — grid-integrated hydrogen, supply chains, systems modeling. Work with CSIRO Australia and Argonne National Lab. Currently building Scope, a patent-pending wearable for human attention.

The thesis

When an input becomes abundant, the constraint moves.

Energy, compute, intelligence — every input I’ve modeled eventually stopped being the bottleneck. Intelligence just became abundant. The constraint moved into the human mind. Everything below is what happens when you follow that idea seriously: the research, the models, and the device.

Scope — the instrument for human attention

A wearable that detects the moment your mind leaves the work it chose, restores it below the threshold of notice, and proves the restoration worked — with a control arm running inside the device. Filed with the USPTO as sole inventor, pro se, while working a full-time research role.

Sole inventor, pro se

How it works: sense → infer → intervene — with an on-device control arm validating every restoration.● LIVE DIAGRAM

When should an electrolyzer run?

From my first-author Sustainability paper: the carbon intensity of grid-powered hydrogen swings by more than half across a single day. Drag the hour below — carbon-aware operation means producing in the clean windows, and the slider shows you exactly what that’s worth.

Sharpening life cycle analysis with systems engineering

Combines model-based systems engineering and hetero-functional graph theory to lift the spatio-temporal resolution of process-based life cycle analysis — the method behind the hydrogen study above. Cited by researchers at Helmut Schmidt University.

04 — INDEPENDENT STUDY · SUPPLY CHAINS

Thirty-five years of the U.S. semiconductor supply chain

A system-dynamics model of the American semiconductor supply chain from 1990 to 2025 — tracing how capacity, demand shocks, and policy ripple from raw materials to end use. Press the button: watch a demand shock propagate through the chain, the way the model traces it.

Working draft, Jan 2026

A demand shock rippling through the chain — the kind of propagation the model traces.
