@Palantir, I built wildfire prevention apps that led to a 99% reduction in acres impacted by wildfires in CA. I also developed several channel partnerships from 0 ->1, securing $Xmm in high-margin licenses. MechE/CS @ Harvard '20. Led MakeHarvard. My thesis was on how we can safely deploy aerosols into the stratosphere to save Earth (see: geoengineering).

Originally from Atlanta, Elton graduated with a bachelor's in Electrical Engineering from Harvard, where he cofounded MakeHarvard and wrote an AI/ML thesis in medtech. He interned in data engineering for Capital One and aerospace engineering for a space startup. He spent ~5 years at BCG, exiting as Project Leader. He built *lots* of slides and led strategy and procurement cases in the Aerospace & Defense and Public Sector practice areas. He lives in Boston with his wife.
