Pantera
The wildfire AI platform I lead end to end at 1.5°C — detection, risk, response, impact.

Intern to CTO in ten months. Today I lead the AI platform protecting 40 million hectares against wildfires.
Policy, community engagement, and ethics matter just as much as the model — that's where I want to keep spending my energy.

AI agents in production · human oversight
- Pantera
- As co-founder and CTO of 1.5°C, I lead the computer vision, satellite imagery, and fire-risk models — with the engineering, ML, and environmental science team that builds them with me.
- Agents
- Eight AI agents in production on Hermes, the open-source agent runtime, on our own servers. One writes the engineering PRs and runs the infrastructure audits; the other seven work inside sales, CS, support, marketing, projects, fire alerts, and leadership, each with a human owner. Every PR the agent writes is reviewed and merged by a person.
- Beyond CTO
- Ran Customer Success, Marketing, Support, and HR at various points — none of it engineering. Fixed what was broken, then handed each off once there was a real owner to take it.
- ForeFire
- Contributor since 2022 to CNRS's open-source wildfire simulator, maintainer since 2025, and co-author on its JOSS paper — reviewing and merging PRs, cutting releases, Dockerization, CI/CD, documentation.
- Now
- Open to CTO or senior technical leadership roles — in climate, govtech, or agentic systems, where the hard part isn't the model but putting it inside an operation where being wrong is expensive.

If you're building something ambitious — in AI, climate, or public-interest tech — or leading an early-stage team that wants a technical second opinion, write to me. I'd like to hear about it.
