Work

Working at a climate tech VC. Day-to-day I'm doing research, looking at deals, and trying to understand how capital flows through the energy transition. Turns out "climate tech" covers an enormous amount of territory — from grid software to green cement to agricultural soil carbon — and the investment thesis for each looks pretty different.

I'm particularly interested in the infrastructure layer: the unsexy stuff (permitting, interconnection, project finance) that determines whether the exciting stuff actually gets built.

Reading

Currently working through The Grid by Gretchen Bakke — a history of the US electricity grid that somehow manages to be a page-turner. Also intermittently reading Poor Charlie's Almanack, which is exactly as good as everyone says.

Next year

Planning to start a Bachelor of Commerce in 2027. Still thinking about what to focus on — probably finance, but I want to stay close to the sustainability and energy space rather than drifting into general corporate finance. Open to being convinced otherwise.

Otherwise

Running, badly. Playing guitar, occasionally. Trying to get better at sitting with uncertainty, which turns out to be a full-time project.
