Los Angeles Metropolitan Area United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Atwater is an innovation program manager with 11 years of experience driving data‑driven modernization across California’s water sector and civic tech space. He built and scaled the California Data Collaborative’s SCUBA public data warehouse, grew utility partnerships from six to 14, and helped quantify conservation impacts that informed hundreds of millions in investment decisions. Comfortable at the intersection of policy, analytics, and operations, he has led small technical teams, secured competitive grants, and published methodological work in top journals. Based in Los Angeles, he pairs academic training in urban science and math with hands‑on program delivery for utilities and government, and often translates messy municipal datasets into reproducible, policy‑relevant insights. An underappreciated thread in his career is consistently turning pilot projects into sustained collaborations across universities, agencies, and community stakeholders.
