I build data automation and signal analytics tools for reliable electricity grid operations.
What I'm looking for
At Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator, I validate real-time PMU/SCADA data supporting grid reliability and market operations. I resolve telemetry issues, improve data quality, and build automation and QA workflows that reduce manual processing.
I developed a Python market analytics toolkit for Ontario’s electricity grid, using FFT/PSD, automated ingestion, validation, anomaly detection, and interactive monitoring visualizations. The toolkit analyzed more than 1,000 telemetry data points and improved diagnostic speed by approximately 30%.
I also built a Streamlit and Plotly engineering signal analytics dashboard for real-time voltage and frequency analysis, with scalable data pipelines and anomaly detection across 500+ signals per session.
Previously, I designed Fila’s General Construction’s website and digital infrastructure, including SEO, analytics, CRM lead capture, and Google Ads. I’m completing a Computer Software Engineering co-op degree at Toronto Metropolitan University and have also built and deployed a 16-bit RISC processor in VHDL.
