What I'm looking for

I am seeking opportunities in energy infrastructure and smart-grid projects, focusing on technical support and implementation.

I am an electrical engineer with a robust background in hybrid power systems, SCADA/EMS systems, and product design. My experience spans various roles, where I have consistently demonstrated my ability to lead teams and deliver successful projects. At General Electric, I developed and configured power system databases that enabled real-time data acquisition for national control center projects, showcasing my technical expertise and commitment to excellence.

Throughout my career, I have authored technical documentation and designed high-level architectures for Battery Energy Storage Systems, ensuring reliability in mini-grid and telecom applications. My role as an IT Support Engineer at Carnegie Mellon University allowed me to implement remote instruction solutions during the pandemic, further enhancing my adaptability and problem-solving skills. I thrive in collaborative environments, having worked with cross-functional teams to create innovative digital products for start-ups, which has honed my design thinking and project management abilities.
