🚀 Founder | Deeptech Entrepreneur | Engineer 🔋 Solving our generation's greatest challenge - climate change and inequity in energy access. I am the founder of deMITasse Energies, where we are building cutting-edge long duration energy storage systems that will enable 'true' adoption of renewables. With our thermo-chemical technology, we are making clean energy reliable, firm, inexpensive, dispatchable, and with real inertia. 📈 Currently raising capital, commercializing our LDES and WHR products, and working with early adopters and strategic customers with significant energy dependence. 🎯 Goal: build dE into an indispensable energy storage provider in the global clean energy market, and a $2 billion climate-tech company in the next 5 years. I strive to make dE the next GE. 🧠 Strengths: persistence+grit, extreme ownership, high-agency leadership, team-building, and execution under pressure. I also make world's best coffee for my team. Despite facing and overcoming insane professional and personal setbacks in 2024, I am now rebuilding with relentless intent - investing every second into becoming the kind of founder who builds world changing companies. 📨 I'd love to connect if you're: - an investor backing bold climate bets - a visionary partner or customer in energy-intensive sectors - an amazing storyteller or someone with a knack for selling cutting-edge tech - a builder, world class engineer, or hustler who wants to create something that outlasts us all

I was initially responsible for consulting the company to improve their design practices and manufacturing efficiencies as they transitioned from traditional fabrication and CNC machining business to manufacturing auto parts and ancillaries.
Post their transition, I handled design and manufacturing of complicated non-traditional/speciality fabrication work at their factory. Notably, my work on the challenging job of designing and precision manufacturing of medical equipments like Titanium based artificial joints and bone implants brought in significant business to the company.
