Engineering the Grid of
Tomorrow

Power systems engineer with 8+ years of experience across consulting, utilities, and research — focused on transmission planning, HVDC, and the integration of renewable energy at scale.

Currently with BBA Consultants in Vancouver, supporting clients across North America on power systems studies for natural resources and renewable energy projects. Previously led the Power System Studies team at Hatch, where I served as project manager and technical lead for ITP 2024, performing Dfax and LODF analyses to guide a Transmission Owner's project portfolio.

My background blends industry execution with a research foundation in power electronics reliability — 10 published works with 300+ citations, including Markov-chain modeling of multi-phase buck converters.
