What I'm looking for

I'm seeking remote work in technical support, applications engineering, industrial automation, reliability, renewable energy, technical writing, engineering research, STEM content, or AI data evaluation.

At c3controls, I provided remote technical and application support to North American industrial customers, helping with product selection, sizing, and troubleshooting. I also interpreted customer requirements against NEMA, UL, and NEC standards.

At Ventus, I directed operations and maintenance for utility-scale wind assets and associated high-voltage substation infrastructure. I coordinated predictive maintenance and led technical root-cause investigations of equipment failures.

At LaGeo, I supported SCADA diagnostics, calibration, and predictive maintenance, and used PVsyst and WASP for solar and wind resource assessment. I also prepared feasibility, due diligence, and investment assessment reports for renewable energy projects.
