Patents & Innovation

Original contributions driving efficient, carbon-aware cloud computing.

Patent Pending

Sustainable Query Optimization

App #: US 63/973,243

A breakthrough system that optimizes database query execution plans based on estimated carbon footprint rather than just speed. This "GreenOps" engine allows enterprises to balance performance deliverables with environmental sustainability goals.

Patent Pending

Self-Healing Data Pipelines

App #: US 63/977,980

An automated remediation framework for distributed ETL systems. Using AI to detect failure patterns, it autonomously restructures execution paths for transient errors, dramatically reducing operational toil.
