Oil Field Stimulation Optimization, Sensor Technology

Created 9 years ago in Industries / Other

I was co-founder at Tachyus, a Founders Fund backed startup specializing in creating software to optimize conventional upstream production:

*Founded the research organization (spanning both hardware and algorithms). Directly responsible for vision, recruiting, hiring, and managing.
*Discovered an enormous oil field stimulation optimization opportunity, shaping the technological vision of the company and product. Wrote the first algorithm to take advantage of this opportunity, leading to our first dozen customers, generating tens of millions in value for them and millions in revenue to Tachyus.
*Invented Data Physics, our proprietary synthesis of traditional PDE and physics based solvers with advanced data science techniques, leading the expansion of our initial simulation and optimization algorithms and increasing our TAM to $100B+.
*Invented and led prototyping of novel sensor hardware.
*My team produced 9 hardware and software patents, 4 of which list me as an inventor.
*As technical co-founder and board member, was critical to raising $25M in two rounds led by Founders Fund, acquiring our initial customer base, developing the culture of our company, and expanding our team to over 35.
