Energy Systems Engineer & Researcher | Ph.D., CEM | Renewable Energy, BESS, Mini-Grids & Climate Policy

Profile Summary

Ph.D.-trained Energy Engineer with 10+ years of experience delivering renewable energy solutions across three continents. My work spans from designing Solar-PV + BESS mini-grids for UN-supported infrastructure in energy-poor, resource-constrained, climate-vulnerable regions, to advancing municipal energy strategy in North America, to contributing to national renewable energy policy development in Africa. I operate at the intersection of engineering and strategy across the full power system value chain—generation, storage, transmission, distribution, and end-use. I can design and size hybrid energy systems, develop robust techno-economic and lifecycle analyses, and navigate complex regulatory and policy environments to move projects from concept to implementation. My work has delivered six-figure operational savings, strengthened successful federal funding applications, and contributed to peer-reviewed research on energy access and hybrid power optimization in Africa.
