Excited to welcome Chris Gaunt, a self-taught engineer and a relentless learner, to the Arbor team!

We’re excited to announce Peter Ehrlich has joined Arbor as our second full time engineer! Peter is a software engineer and self-proclaimed climate nut.  He has spent most of his past ten years in San Francisco, where he interned at AirBnb (when they were ten people working out of a two-bedroom apartment), built out the machine-learning research platform at Leap Motion (now UltraLeap), and took on many projects at Stripe as they grew from 500 to 8,000 people. After launching Stripe's Credit Card Issuing product in the EU & UK, he took a gap year and got pulled into climate work. In the past year, he's decarbonized his home, become owner/operator of two solar farms in New England, and built out a small community, the Zero Percent Club, around residential decarbonization. At Arbor, he's hoping to increase his impact in helping homeowners run their home more efficiently and cheaply while also reducing their emissions. Welcome to the team, Peter. We are thrilled to have you with us, and excited about the creativity you’ll bring to the team to help demystify energy for consumers, and save them money!

An avid scuba diver and outdoor enthusiast, Timothy has always been fascinated by power management and generation, particularly hydro and wind energy. His interest in building basic generators from household items showcases his hands-on approach and deep understanding of engineering generally. At Arbor, Timothy is excited to leverage his extensive experience and passion for the environment to contribute to our mission. His alignment with our values and his determination to make a significant impact on climate change make him a perfect fit for our team. Welcome aboard, Tim!
