About

I've spent the last decade-plus as a building energy engineer — auditing hospitals, airports, schools, and office towers; commissioning systems; and building tools for the people doing that work. Most of that time was focused on monitoring-based commissioning (MBCx) and SkySpark analytics.

I'm in the middle of a transition — still an engineer, increasingly a builder. I use AI to build tools I don't have the software background to build otherwise. I'm upfront about that. The tools work because I know what needs building; the AI handles the parts I don't.

I'm also writing a novel. Water Rising is speculative fiction about technology and what we choose to do with it — the premise is a conceit, what follows from it isn't.
