Jackson Hole, Wyoming

I have extensive experience designing, implementing and maintaining operational weather forecast guidance products for companies primarily in the utilities sector. At the core of most of my products are numerical weather models. I have over a decade of experience designing, building and maintaining high performance computing (HPC) platforms required to run operational weather models and have had the opportunity to work with the latest HPC technologies. Our (Atmospheric Data Solutions) recent utility load and outage forecasting products have used innovative machine learning methods to bridge the gap between the desired predictors and high-resolution multi-decadal past weather data. I have assisted in the original and continued development and operational support of the Santa Ana Wildfire Threat Index (SAWTI, http://sawti.fs.fed.us/). Additionally, Atmospheric Data Solutions uses machine learning applied to past climatological data to provide seasonal outlooks for various weather variables including Santa Ana Winds.Atmospheric Data Solutions, LLC was acquired by Technosylva in 2023.

Working to assess and predict wind and solar energy using state-of-the-art regional scale atmospheric models including WRF. Conducting research which improves renewable energy resource assessment within these models. Dynamical downscaling of future climate change scenarios from CMIP5 models using WRF. Application of these future climate change scenarios includes studying the dynamics behind offshore winds in southern California and predicting future changes in frequency, duration and intensity. Also, assessing future climate change impacts to renewable energy resources.
