Experienced Energy Engineer focused on innovative energy solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Energy Engineer with a strong background in energy efficiency and engineering solutions. My experience includes auditing commercial and municipal buildings, where I calculated energy savings and created comprehensive upgrade packages that significantly lower energy consumption. I thrive on collaborating with contractors and customers to ensure timely project completion and have a proven track record of designing solar panel and battery energy solutions.
Previously, I worked as an R&D Engineer, where I validated packaging for FDA compliance and performed statistical analysis using Minitab to ensure Six Sigma standards. My engineering journey has equipped me with a diverse skill set, including expertise in Solidworks, AutoCAD, and electronic troubleshooting. I am passionate about leveraging my engineering background to drive sustainable energy solutions and contribute to innovative projects.
