I worked as a manufacturing engineer at Plenty Ag, building out the company’s innovative climate-controlled vertical hydroponics systems. I primarily focused on designing, deploying, and scaling fully automated leafy green processing lines. During my tenure I helped unlock up to 90% water savings compared to field agriculture as well as nearly a 7X throughput capacity increase for automated harvesting and transplanting, an important step towards a sustainable and stable food future for all.
As an undergraduate, I earned dual degrees from Vassar college in physics, and Dartmouth college in engineering. Throughout, I’ve maintained an interest in hands on projects via Dartmouth Formula Hybrid and the Vassar College Bike Shop, as well as taking numerous Studio Art courses in Printmaking, Sculpture, and Drawing. Overall, my interest lies in finding creative and high-impact ways to address climate change and build community.
This site represents a collection of my projects, large and small.
