Mathematician · Physicist · Software · Founder, Divergent Physics

I'm a mathematician working in software and applied physics. I founded Divergent Physics (formerly Divergence AI), where we're building an AI-powered automation layer for Ansys HFSS — letting RF and antenna engineering teams go from CAD to validated electromagnetic simulation results in minutes instead of days, without leaving the tools they already use.

Before this I led software at Reach Labs and worked on health and AI systems at Aavia. My PhD (UC Davis, 2016) was on the two-phase Stefan problem — a free-boundary model for things like ice melting in water. I still get pulled toward anything that can be turned into a sharp mathematical question.
