Work
A few things I've built. Each one is really the same story: a climate fix that couldn't scale until someone built the market and the measurement around it.
A carbon credit methodology, from scratch
Co-author, registered methodology
The problem
Orphaned oil and gas wells leak methane for decades, but there was no accepted way to turn plugging them into verifiable carbon credits. No method meant no market, and no market meant the wells stayed unplugged.
What I did
I co-authored the methodology that fixed this, leading the quantification work: defining how field measurements become defensible, credited tonnes. It is now a registered credential under an open carbon protocol.
The result
A repeatable, registry-backed way to finance well plugging through carbon markets, rather than waiting on scarce public funding.
Scaling a methane abatement program 10x
Environmental Project Manager
The problem
A promising methane abatement program was working, but small. Growing it meant building the operational and measurement systems to run projects reliably across very different states and field conditions.
What I did
I managed the front-end project lifecycle and built the backbone that let the program expand: contractor coordination, field data, and quantification that held up under scrutiny.
The result
The program grew from roughly $2M to over $20M across four U.S. states.
Quantification for a new carbon protocol
Quantification lead
The problem
A new carbon protocol needed a rigorous, credible way to measure impact before anyone would trust credits issued under it.
What I did
I led quantification efforts that helped shape the protocol itself, connecting raw well-level data to the numbers a registry and buyers can rely on.
The result
Quantification methods that underpin a protocol hosted on an emerging registry.
