I founded Seaport Systems in 2020 with the mission to democratize access to oceanographic data by designing, manufacturing and selling low-cost environmental monitoring technologies. I went full-time on the project in 2021 after my time with Flux Marine, with the intent on working for a few months, developing some new skills and going back to work full-time; but after 5 years, the project is strong - I’ve developed 2 monitoring buoy designs, and sold over 50 buoys that are deployed across New England. I’m not much of an academic, but I’ve treated my experience with Seaport Systems as a DIY post-graduate degree. I’ve learned more in the last 5 years than I ever thought possible - prototyping, manufacturing, electrical design, cloud architecture, and more.

I’ve given up everything, and struggled tremendously to get to where I am today, and I am incredibly proud of what I’ve managed to accomplish with Seaport Systems. I hope that it can persist as an open-source project to enable citizen science and live up to my original mission of democratizing much needed oceanographic data to all - fishermen, at-sea industries, regulatory bodies and more.
