About Me
17+ Years ExperienceBrooklyn, New York, United StatesBachelor of Science, Penn State University
With a passion for creating innovative software solutions that streamline engineering tasks, I've dedicated my career to driving the future of power grid technologies. As a Product Manager at Integral Analytics, I shape tools that empower engineers and analysts to evaluate the cost-effective integration of sustainable energy into the grid. My role focuses on merging advanced analytics with long-term forecasting to enhance utility decision-making.
I began my career as a distribution engineer with a strong foundation in power systems. My self-taught expertise in computer science, combined with hands-on experience at a major utility, gives me a unique perspective on technology-driven solutions for the energy sector. At PG&E, I led efforts in integrated distribution planning, spearheading the development of tools and standards that set new baselines for hosting capacity analysis across California and the U.S.
I strive to lead by example and learn as much about not just what to do but how to do it. I'm driven by a commitment to challenge the status quo, streamline workflows, and deliver products that move utilities forward, enhancing their processes and capabilities for a sustainable energy future.
