Bridging molecular kinetics and autonomous software — the Software-to-Steel pipeline.
Pearl River, NY · ChemeNova LLC · ChemRich Global · Tech MBA · NJIT
Building autonomous R&D pipelines that convert complex simulations into physical industrial outcomes. I work at the intersection where a process engineer's intuition meets an AI architect's toolbox — replacing static chemical workflows with systems that design, validate, and optimize themselves.
This isn't AI applied to chemistry as a feature. It's chemistry reimagined as software.
