SELECTED WORK

Projects from the Field.

A sample of engagements across wind, solar, and storage — from servicing and operating utility scale wind farm and solar projects to system design and managing fleet engineering programs.

Background

Two decades across wind, solar, and storage

From operating utility-scale wind farms to leading fleet engineering programs across wind, solar, and storage, my career has been built on solving hard technical problems at scale — and translating that experience into practical, bankable guidance for owners, lenders, and developers.
