Jasmine builds AI tools for the solar industry (risk monitoring, compliance & trading); scaled annual revenue from $0 to $2M+; used by top climate commodity brokers and data center networks. As Co‑Founder & Chief Product Officer, led product strategy end‑to‑end and was product manager for three products, coordinating a cross‑functional team of 8 across design, engineering, AI research, security, and domain experts. ✨ Product 1 — Risk Management Platform (Solar Finance) ◦ Built multimodal LLM workflows that processed 1,000+ unstructured documents/month; >10x’ed risk‑manager productivity (hundreds of developments tracked concurrently vs. ~12 prior). ◦ Led domain modeling, context engineering, and a human‑in‑the‑loop review UI for auditability and precision. ◦ Introduced an AI copilot with tool‑calling to ground answers in primary sources and link to knowledge‑graph entities. ◦ Development partner: a leading DC‑based solar developer. ✨ Product 2 — Renewable Portfolio Auditor (Utility‑scale pilot) ◦ Product managed pipelines consolidating generation data from thousands of heterogeneous distributed sources; informed audit workflows and regulatory reporting. ◦ Defined data quality, validation, and lineage architecture for utility‑grade auditability. ◦ Development Partner: Georgia Power (State utility monopoly) ✨ Product 3 — Climate Asset Trading Platform ◦ Enabled tokenization, trading, retirement, and audit‑grade provenance for climate assets; millions of dollars of assets tokenized and retired. ◦ Built a two‑way tokenization bridge (registries ↔ blockchain), ERC721→ERC20 fractionalization for liquidity, DEX integration, and verifiable retirement trails. ◦ Largest user: Crusoe Energy. Lead multiple CRS Green‑e audits. Coverage: integrated with all major North American registries (WREGIS, M‑RETS, ERCOT, PJM GATS, NEPOOL GIS, NAR) plus I‑RECs via Evident.

Clearspace is a YC-backed consumer app eliminating compulsive phone use. ◦ 1M+ users; featured by NYT Wirecutter and TBPN. ◦ Advisor to the founders (monthly) on product strategy, AI/LLM systems, neuroscience/UX, GTM/positioning, data privacy/ethics, hiring, and fundraising. ◦ Support the team with human-centered AI approaches to digital wellbeing.

Temper drove metabolic health outcomes through intermittent fasting (IF) adherence; Scaled from $0 to $100K MRR by building a product-centered organization. ◦ Designed an AI-augmented coaching platform using Rasa and GPT-3 (pre-ChatGPT), increasing the subscriber-to-coach ratio by >10x while improving adherence to IF protocols. ◦ Led a cross-functional team of 7 (marketing, technology, operations, coaching, design), with all functions reporting directly to me. ◦ Built and iterated behavior-change protocols that made IF compliance measurable and repeatable, delivering consistent user outcomes. ◦ Executed go-to-market across direct-to-consumer and employer benefits programs. ◦ Served as the first user and first coach to ground product and operations in real-world workflows. ◦ Responsibly wound down the company as GLP-1 therapies achieved widespread adoption; we acknowledge GLP-1s’ convenience advantage for most consumers and are encouraged to see metabolic health trends improving, even if we're not the ones driving it.

That time we tried to cure COVID. Sam Altman, ANA investor, summarized it well: “ANA Therapeutics has already moved at lightning speed to get Niclosamide into clinical trials. I'm thrilled to invest in the team's critically important mission to develop a safe, effective, and widely available treatment for COVID-19." ◦ Co-led ANA Therapeutics’ rapid response to COVID-19, advancing Niclosamide (a WHO essential medicine) from hypothesis to clinical readiness in early 2020; transitioned to Advisor as trials commenced. ◦ Built the scientific/medical case: curated and commissioned SARS-CoV-2 data (including BSL-4 work), synthesized evidence into regulatory-grade materials and trial applications. ◦ Developed and executed partner engagement strategy and fundraising support under extreme timelines. ◦ Acquired by NeuroBo.

Thrive Global help individuals and companies improve productivity and health outcomes through science-backed behavior change. ◦ Reported to CEO; led research-to-product strategy across the portfolio, influencing 30+ cross-functional leaders (Product, Engineering, ML, Content, Coaching). ◦ Architected domain model and core interaction design for greenfield Thrive ZP—an enterprise behavior-change app delivering 21‑day challenges across six life domains to a Walmart associate population in the millions. ◦ Built product analytics from zero to one: selected Segment and Looker, defined tracking plan, drove implementation, launched executive dashboards, and ran the company’s first product A/B tests to inform roadmap and go‑to‑market.

Juris is bringing Justice to the blockchain. I'm advising them on: ◦ Product (incentive design, game theory, psychology) ◦ Business (ICO strategy, market positioning, partnerships) ◦ Technology (Smart contract design, blockchain, graph analysis)

Boundless Mind built “machines of loving grace”: applying neuropsychology + mobile sensing to deeply understand and shape human behavior—turning frontier science into real products. Product portfolio: ✨ Behavior Engine (usage-based B2B API): deployed across health, wellness, and fintech, touching 1M+ MAUs; case studies show >100% engagement lift and >130% medical adherence improvements. ✨ SPACE (consumer, PLG): App to reduce compulsive app use. Typical users cut screen time by >50%. ◦ Companies mission and products were featured by tier‑1 media (TIME, 60 Minutes) ◦ Architected a distributed learning system: on-device models for real-time decisions with asynchronous cloud parameter updates; 99.9% uptime; HIPAA‑eligible and SOC 2 compliant. ◦ Leadership: Led operations and growth with a peak team of 9; owned product, engineering, data science, GTM, finance, and legal; raised >$2M from Howard Morgan, Esther Dyson, Lowercase Capital, and others. ◦ Scientific-to-production example: Developed ML-based mood and personality inference from passive mobile sensors (e.g., accelerometer, tap dynamics), including autoencoder-based feature learning and interpretable latent spaces; translated neuroscience + ML research into production-grade systems and shippable products. ◦ Acquisition: Acquired by Thrive Global (2019); Behavior Engine became an internal platform and SPACE was integrated as a feature within Thrive’s apps. Personally sourced, negotiated, and led the transition.

• Designed visual psychophysical stimuli • Tested the effects of induced emotional states on visual perception • Applied Machine Learning to neuroimaging techniques • Track motor skill acquisition when subject is distracted by a secondary task or TMS stimulation • Probe cortical excitability as a function of motor learning with TMS • Examine neurological underpinning of decision making and economic reasoning
