What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue contributing to distribution planning, grid modernization, DER interconnection, and data-driven technical studies, with opportunities to lead project scope, collaborate across teams, and support informed investment and regulatory decisions.

At CNFL, I perform annual hosting capacity analysis across the distribution network using CYME, informing distributed generation interconnection and investment decisions. I also co-lead electric vehicle identification, projection, and modeling studies for the service area.

I evaluate 34.5 kV medium-voltage networks, develop hydroelectric generation interconnection feasibility studies, and apply load flow analysis to assess grid impacts. Using Python, C++, CYMDIST APIs, PostgreSQL, and SQL, I automate recurring planning workflows and produce decision-ready technical reporting.

I set scopes, stages, and deliverables for technical studies while coordinating with teammates and stakeholders. I’m completing my CAPM certification and bring hands-on experience in grid modernization, distribution planning, and data-driven engineering analysis.
