About August Chen

@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).
