About

Hi, I'm Lindsey Dukles. I'm a NYC-based Operations Manager and Software Engineer with a passion for driving innovation in the Climate Tech industry. I specialize in blending science and engineering to build real-world solutions, from optimizing data pipelines to developing intuitive, customer-facing dashboards. With hands-on experience in managing lab operations and leading cross-functional teams, I focus on transforming complex data into actionable insights and improving operational efficiency—ultimately creating solutions that make a tangible environmental impact. Let's build a more resilient future together.

I'm a purveyor of 'type 2' fun and enjoyer of the subtle wonders of life - Outside of work, you can find me rock climbing, birding, botanizing, camping, running, making, or reading.

Work
