DeZirteer · Vlamel Technologies LLC
One transparent U-Pb algorithm labs can share.
Labs had no shared, transparent way to filter bad U-Pb results, calculate discordance, or choose a best age—Excel methods made results hard to compare. We published a transparent algorithm for those calculations, then moved the same logic from desktop software into a web app and an MCP connector so the analysis can run from ChatGPT. Used by tens of scientific labs worldwide. First-authored Chemical Geology paper, 2021.

Hunterizer · Artemida Publishing, Inc.
From atlas buyers to a paid product in 17 states.
Customer discovery with printed-atlas buyers led to a paid iOS, Android, and web product covering 17 states. Vlad owned strategy, roadmap, UX, pricing, and experiments. Data pipelines and agency-site monitoring support corrections within one day of source changes. Lifecycle email reactivated about 20% of users. StateScoop 2026 Industry Leadership finalist.

Kataba
E&P records you can ask—and open to the page.
Built for E&P technical records and taught to handle well logs, GIS files, and related subsurface formats. RAG combines semantic, hybrid, and keyword search, with page-level citations and automated checks for missing or contradictory evidence. After energy-sector discovery and pilots, the product shipped to several paying customers.

Principal
Vlad Powerman
Owner and CEO of Vlamel Technologies LLC. He owns product discovery, prioritization, and delivery. Engagements are principal-led; specialists join when the work requires them.
He holds a PhD in geology, which is why products involving isotopic data, maps, or technical reports can be specified closely enough to build.
Prior employment: engineering program management for Applied ML at Apple, and software and data program management at Bloom Energy (fleet portal, industrial historian, edge-device migration). Detail is on the personal portfolio for people who receive that link.
