Frost Methane turns waste methane from unregulated sources into recurring revenue often with other co-benefits to the land owner. We love working with livestock farmers in the US on methane from their manure ponds, as well as shut down coal mines and natural sources - we installed the world's only abatement project on an arctic permafrost methane vent.

Frost Methane is honoured to be part of Unreasonable Group's ventures and community.

Strong atomics is a fund investing in a portfolio of nuclear fusion startups that aim to deliver energy at grid-relevant prices at reasonable time frames.

Worked on early stage at X - focusing on climate change. Projects I worked on spun out as: Dandelion - residential geothermal heating and cooling - save money and significant greenhouse gas emissions. Malta Inc - cheaper and longer utility scale storage in molten salt.

Google Energy is a group whose mission is to "Enable universal access to zero-carbon energy" (for the world, not just for Google). I'm a tech lead on a sub project focused on the developed world, building prototypes for a smart grid with a high penetration of renewable energy.

- Worked on a prototype for a project regarding "Loss and Delay Accountability for the Internet" using CLICK open source router. - Theoretical aspect: analyzed the possible security risks of the design. - Project has appeared in ICNP (International Conference on Network Protocols), 2007: “Loss and Delay Accountability for the Internet” by K. Argyraki (EPFL, Switzerland), P. Maniatis (Intel Research, USA), O. Irzak, S. Ashish (EPFL, Switzerland), S. Shenker (UC Berkeley, USA)

My project was to write the BitLocker harddrive repartition tool's backend. The project was in use for at least 11 years by many thousands of people.
