ML that delivers. Satellite and LiDAR for forest carbon at work; GPU physics and pretraining studies here, live in the browser.

I grew up on a cotton farm in Queensland. Initially I set out to become a doctor; three months in I found myself programming more than studying medicine, so I switched to computer science.
Two kinds of work. Retainer, build, or advisory.
Climate & spatial ML
What I do every day.
- Carbon MRV and canopy modelling from LiDAR + satellite
- Spatial pipelines that stay fast at continental scale
- Biodiversity monitoring and precision-ag models
Applied ML & AI systems
Fine-tuning, search, deployment.
- Training and fine-tuning on your data, on your budget
- Search that understands what users mean
- Deployment without marrying you to one API vendor
Ongoing engineering capacity, month to month.
A pipeline, a model, an app. Scoped on a call, priced up front, handed over runnable.
Architecture reviews, model audits, a second opinion before you commit a quarter.
