Team Background

Andrew Green - Chief Executive Officer

In 1989, Andrew started one of the world’s first public-access internet-service providers. This service pioneered the use of modern internet access technologies commonly used today, including internet over cable tv networks and internet over DSL lines. He sold this service in 1998.

In 2000, Andrew formed an internet-based aviation information-services company, which evolved into a software and services company that today is ACME Atronomatic.

He was nominated for Weatherperson of the Year in 2020.

Sarvesh Garimella - Chief Scientist and CTO

Sarvesh oversees research and innovation efforts at ACME.

After earning an undergraduate degree in planetary science and environmental engineering at Caltech, his graduate career focused on clarifying the role of anthropogenic emissions or particulate matter on clouds and climate.

He earned a Master’s degree in Atmospheric Science and a Doctorate in Climate Physics and Chemistry from MIT, where his research focused on developing spectrometers for ice nuclei and forming global-climate models using machine-learning technology.

Sarvesh joined ACME in January 2019.

David Ryglicki - Principal Scientist

Prior to joining ACME, David spent ten years with the federal government, spending the majority of that time serving in the U.S. Navy as an employee of both the Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC) and the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL).

His notable accomplishments there include developing tactical decision aids for warfighter support and working at the NRL as a postdoctoral scholar and being promoted to a full-time meteorologist.

David holds a Bachelor’s degree in Atmospheric Science from Cornell and a Master’s degree and Ph.D. in Meteorology from Florida State.
