Weaving resilient futures.

HELLO

I advise cities and startups through Sunrail Strategy, run on-the-ground experiments at Hatch Lab, and write the weekly Field Notes newsletter. Whether you need a climate-ready transport roadmap or a data-rich garden prototype, I bridge policy and place to create resilient commons.

Hatch Lab

Hatch Lab is a research-studio and field workshop that turns ordinary spaces—yards, rail verges, zoning maps—into living-labs. We fuse ecological science, machine learning, and community know-how to prototype native-plant corridors, AI-driven zoning tools, and complexity-based economic models. Every insight, plant, and surplus dollar is cycled back to the communities that steward the land.

Writing

I write at the intersection of climate, biodiversity, and infrastructure systems. My current publication, Field Notes, is a Substack newsletter exploring how AI, ecological intelligence, and human creativity can regenerate our shared future. I have also co-authored peer-reviewed research on autonomous vehicles and urban mobility with a focus on policy and equity, including work published during my time as a research fellow at Boston University.

Services range from emission-resilience audits and strategy power-hours to full program design. Move from white-paper goals to shovel-ready projects.
