I am a public technologist from Southern California. I help water managers and other public servants to plan and make more informed decisions under uncertainty by taking full advantage of the many data resources available to public agencies. My work involves a combination of creative data integration, data system engineering, applied R&D, and decision support tool development. I believe that modern data analytics can aid municipal managers in their day-to-day work, leading to more informed decisions and ultimately to more reliable public services and a more sustainable and resilient society.During the day I serve as project manager for the California Data Collaborative. This involves the design and management of data infrastructure to support our member utilities by ingesting, processing, and analyzing water use data from millions of Californians. On the side I work as an independent consultant for water districts where I design big data solutions for handling large volumes of AMI data and advise utility staff on data analytic strategy. I also volunteer with the Ventura County Climate Hub, pushing for a net-zero carbon economy.
