BIO
I'm the cofounder and CTO at Nira Energy. I recently made the switch to working on climate tech and am loving it. I definitely got lucky meeting my cofounders Chris and Andrew, who are veterans in the renewable energy space with 10+ years of experience. I worked at Palantir as a software engineer for 2 years and a PM for one year. Before that I graduated from Brown with a BS in Computer Science. I live a 3 minute walk from my local surf beach in the Rockaways, NY.
