Location: Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/miloknowles

I’m currently a software engineer at Synonym, where I help develop tools and infrastructure for biomanufacturing. I have experience as both an early engineer and founder in climate-tech, where I've worked in energy, food, carbon markets, and most recently, biomanufacturing. I'm always happy to chat with people working on climate.
