About

The luxury in enterprise is clear judgment before delays pile up cost and resources. I started Transient Labs for businesses where small errors compound to become costly—and good judgment compounds. We work at the intersection of engineering and capital: industrial operations, financial truth and technical systems. When they do not, energy leaks, margins disappear and capital is allocated against fiction. Transient Labs is deliberately compact and senior. Our forward-deployed engineers bring 7–20+ years of experience, with backgrounds spanning UC Berkeley, Cambridge and ETH Zurich and prior experience across marquee industrial, aerospace, sustainability and enterprise organisations. The people who understand the problem design and build the solution. No intermediaries, handoff distortion just domain expertise, technical depth and discretion from day 0. Our starting point is a fixed four-week, Energy & Resource Audit. We establish baselines for heat and mass balance, electricity, water & waste throughput, control systems and data readiness, and a prioritised intervention roadmap. The goal is not another report. It is to show management what deserves funding now, and what is expected the IRR outcome along with what is on the horizon for innovation and if its worth investing into. Where the evidence supports the case, we take it to next phase into an outcomes-based engagement where we work closer to SCADA, PLC, OPC UA and existing plant systems. The same thesis runs through our six-week digital products, dMRV/evidence stacks, reconciliation/accounting engines and internal tools: make reality measurable, decisions traceable and execution hard to distort. But this is larger than a services catalogue. We are a circle of builders—around a conviction: exceptional intelligence should be spent on the hardest problems driving consequential outcomes. Industrial operations decide how energy, materials and capital move through the real economy. Mobilising atoms through digital twins is infrastructure for abundance, resilience and intelligent capital. Our purpose is to make intelligence compound in the physical economy: rally operators, engineers and capital behind problems worthy of all three. We make hardware programs executable If you value direct ownership, intellectual honesty and measurable outcomes, you may already be one of us. If you control an operation, a balance sheet or an ambitious technical bet—and the cost of being approximately right is high, DM me lets see if we can help

Work experience

Founder at Transient Labs, Jan 2026 - Present · 8 mos, Transient Labs is a forward-deployed industrial automation and digital products studio. I lead delivery across energy-management systems, plant/data integration and evidence-heavy operational workflows. The delivery team brings 7–20+ years of experience, with backgrounds spanning UC Berkeley, Cambridge and ETH Zurich and prior experience across marquee industrial, aerospace, sustainability and enterprise brands. For energy-intensive sites, we begin with a fixed four-week, $30K Energy & Resource Audit: establish heat and mass balance, electricity/water baselines, controls and data readiness, and one ranked intervention roadmap. If the evidence supports the case, Phase 2 carries the strongest opportunity into outcomes-based industrial automation. Projects delivered also span: • digital products and AI-enabled applications shipped through focused six-week sprints • dMRV and evidence stacks: ingestion, registries, verification workflows and audit trails • financial reconciliation and accounting engines: multi-source matching, exception handling, settlement and reporting • internal tools and workflows across approvals, planning, reporting and management controls • SCADA, PLC, OPC UA and plant-to-cloud integration Our forward-deployed engineers work with management, engineering and operations so the people mapping the operating reality are also the people shipping the system—removing handoff distortion between intent and execution.

Founding Engineer at Emtribe, Jun 2025 - Jun 2026 · 1 yr 1 mo, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Worked directly with the founding team to turn early product and operating requirements into shipped systems. • Led hands-on product architecture and implementation across customer-facing and internal workflows • Built automation around operational handoffs, approvals and reporting • Worked across product, engineering and operations to move from ambiguous requirements to production releases • Established reusable foundations for subsequent product development The role reinforced an operating principle I continue to use: keep engineers close to users, shorten feedback loops, and make ownership and acceptance criteria explicit.

Research Consultant, Data Scientist at WorldQuant, Jan 2019 - Oct 2019 · 10 mos, India, - Performed predictive time series analysis to take market-neutral long-short rebalancing positions that generated significant alphas. Developed approx. 150 alphas(strategies) with significant weight in total - Experimented with bagging, boosting, linear models, regularisation, model blending, stacking etc., optimised hyperparameters using Gridsearch to design models having better predictability than base models for regression and classification problems. Outperformed base model performance based on metrics such as Precision, Recall, Auc_roc, RMSE, and MAE. Tech stack used: Scikit-learn, Pandas, Numpy, Matplotlib, Seaborn, SQL, Tableau.
