From Terrain Insight to the Future of Exploration

I am a geophysicist, strategist, and exploration systems architect. I develop terrain, ESG, and resource intelligence tools that solve real problems on Earth while building toward something much larger: 

Sustainable Exploration — a planetary-scale mission intelligence platform for frontier infrastructure, autonomy, and planetary decision-making.

I work at the intersection of data, discovery, and deployment by bringing together AI, geophysics, and remote sensing to shape how and where we explore.

I not only model environments but test, deploy, and validate systems within them. Be it characterizing remote terrain, diving into inaccessible environments, or running photogrammetry missions with drones and sensors, I blend expeditionary insight with high-impact data intelligence.

My goal: to build the integrated intelligence layer that guides autonomous infrastructure, exploration logistics, and multi-domain operations from critical mineral development to lunar surface planning.

My path has crossed continents, datasets, and domains:

• Strategy lead at AI ventures
• Planetary science researcher
• Energy systems analyst at the Energy Futures Lab, Imperial College London
   

But the core thread was always exploration.

Out in the field—flying drones, mapping terrain, diving into extreme environments—it becomes clear: We have the data, but not the intelligence infrastructure.

Sustainable Exploration exists to close that gap. One insight pack. One terrain map. One mission system at a time.

I operate where I build.

I’m a certified drone pilot, divemaster, expeditionary photographer, and analog mission trainee. Whether underwater, in the air, or across planetary analogs, I bring a field-tested mindset to every layer of system design and terrain modeling.

I treat exploration not only as a theme but as a method.

Every dataset, system, and solution I develop is grounded in direct experience: navigating terrain, interpreting risk, and adapting in real time. My background in planetary geophysics and data systems is amplified by skills with drones, technical diving, and analog mission ops, forming a cohesive approach that is technical, tested, and tactical.

This approach lets me build tools that are both scientifically credible and operationally meaningful in the field and on other worlds.
