About

I lead full-scale project development at a methane emissions abatement program at a carbon project development startup, a role that runs the full range from strategic direction down to fieldwork at orphaned oil and gas well sites. Building this methane abatement program is about as direct as you can get to the actual, unglamorous challenge of scaling a climate solution.

I came to this from engineering. I trained as a mechanical engineer at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and moved from engineering project management into climate work full time. That background is why I'm drawn to the parts other people skip: the field reality, the data, and the systems that turn both into something that holds up.

Part of why this work matters to me is personal. I grew up in Southern India, where access to electricity was often inconsistent, an early and lived reminder that energy access and climate stability are deeply linked. That connection has quietly shaped everything I've worked on since.

My through-line is simple. Most climate solutions don't stall because the technology is missing; they stall because the market and the capital to fund them are. That's why I'm now at Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management, pursuing dual majors in Strategy and Finance, and a fellow in Northwestern's Abrams Climate Academy. I want the investor-side fluency to structure deals that get impact-driven projects off the ground and keep them there when times get hard.

This site is where I show that work as I do it and learn it.
