The Dossier
Principal Commercial Technologist · Systems Decision Architect | Formal: Director of BI / Product Manager | Regulated Deep-Tech
How I Work
Formal title on record: Director of Business Intelligence / Product Manager. Operating mandate: High-leverage strategic technologist & commercial architect sitting at the intersection of first-principles physics, thermodynamic modeling, ground-up TCO engines, and commercial deal de-risking across Renew (Operating Entity) and Silvera (IP Holding Company).
Rather than traditional middle management or administrative overhead, my core leverage lies in uncovering hidden value levers, red-teaming strategic assumptions, de-risking supply chains, and constructing competitive “physics moats” that protect commercial expansion.
In sustainable materials & bio-industrial scale: developed thermodynamic frameworks evaluating competitive parity against incumbent EPS/plastics, engineered granular TCO calculators proving unit-economic viability, led EPR advocacy before California rulemaking bodies, and partnered directly with commercial leadership (Douglas, CRO) as a full-stack technical-commercial engine.
Professional Timeline
Founding Commercial Technologist & Strategic Director
Core IP & Equity Stake (~2%) | First-Principles Physics & Deal Architecture
Silvera (IP Holding Company & Platform Licensor) | 2024 – Present (Remote)
- First-Principles “Physics Moat” & Thermal R&D: Developed proprietary thermodynamic frameworks and bench-level cold-chain testing protocols; mapped physical constraints and R-value baselines of molded-fiber packaging to mathematically prove competitive parity against incumbent EPS.
- Platform Licensor Architecture: Architected the systems boundary separating central IP HoldCo capabilities (digital process twins, carbon accounting, feedstock intelligence, hub optimization) from operating manufacturing facilities.
- Techno-Economic Modeling (TEA): Built granular financial models, feedstock sensitivity matrices, and proformas for multi-facility commercial rollout and capital diligence.
- Commercial Deal Structuring & Red-Teaming: Partnered directly with the Chief Revenue Officer (Douglas) to war-game scenario models, red-team partnership structures, and de-risk enterprise market entry.
Director of Business Intelligence / Product Manager
Operational Leadership | Decision Systems, Logistics Optimization & Regulatory Compliance
Renew (RENW / Element6 Dynamics — Commercial Operating Licensee) | Jan 2024 – Present (Remote)
- EcoMetrics Decision Infrastructure: Architected and deployed the production sustainability analytics platform (ecometrics.streamlit.app) backed by a dbt pipeline with 105+ automated data quality tests, DuckDB analytics, and multi-company architecture.
- Product Management & Service Architecture: Designed three-layer automation (Trigger→Logic→Data) and BFF microservices (Product, Pricing, Sync) connecting ERP, spreadsheets, and commercial interfaces.
- Multi-Modal Logistics Optimization: Engineered unified two-legged shipping calculation engine (ocean + domestic) with Haversine geospatial port auto-detection scaling from 1K to 100M units.
- 50-State EPR Regulatory Strategy: Led regulatory compliance modeling, map overlays, and public testimony before California rulemaking bodies establishing sustainable packaging pathways.
- Commercial Sales Enablement: Built dynamic pricing models and custom buyer ROI calculators directly utilized in enterprise sales closures.
Founder arc — TouchPoint Health
TouchPoint Health | 2022 – 2024 (Remote)
Co-founded a humane health-navigation prototype: collective-intelligence and agentic patterns for complex patient journeys, with RAG grounded in clinician-validated context. The company did not scale to production; the work informed how I think about decision infrastructure, evidence order, and backstage intelligence in regulated domains.
Digital Strategy & Manager of Visual Assets
The Arcview Group | 2020 – 2022 (Los Angeles, CA)
- Led the digital transformation of investor summits in response to COVID-19, architecting platforms that preserved engagement and ROI.
- Advanced data-driven marketing by automating dashboards in Looker Studio; initiated and evangelized a culture of data fluency.
Executive Producer (Digital Media & R&D)
The Real Share | 2019 – 2020 (Remote/Seattle)
- Directed technical production and signal flow for daily podcasts; managed broadcast engineering.
- Conducted foundational research mapping social and clinical oncology networks, setting the stage for TouchPoint.
Case Clerk / Legal Assistant (Technical-Legal Liaison)
Buchalter Law Firm | 2018 – 2019 (Seattle, WA)
- Primary-source research on GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA for attorney-supported matters; translated regulatory text into cloud data-privacy protocols teams could operate (analytical support, not legal advice).
- Bridged technical systems and legal stakeholders so disclosure and retention requirements were explicit in implementation, not assumed.
