About

I help organizations transform metocean data into reliable decision support through numerical modeling, operational forecasting, scientific software, and metocean analysis. With more than 15 years of experience spanning consulting and research, I develop technical solutions for offshore energy, coastal infrastructure, and environmental applications. I hold a PhD in Physical Oceanography from Louisiana State University. For over a decade, I worked as a research scientist in the Department of Oceanography at Texas A&M University, developing regional ocean forecast systems and studying coastal ocean dynamics — from submesoscale frontal eddies to boundary-layer mixing and ocean acidification. Recently, I worked at a consulting company dealing with metocean design criteria and site characterization utilizing modeling and publicly available datasets. That combination of applied modeling, research, and consulting is what I can bring to various clients across offshore energy, coastal infrastructure, and environmental projects.

What I Do

I develop decision-support solutions by integrating observations, numerical models, and metocean analyses. When suitable datasets are unavailable, I build regional ocean models and operational forecasting systems to generate the information needed for engineering and environmental decisions.
