* Drive development of data pipelines, predictive analytics, and reporting tools for NYS utilities, governments and municipalities. * Build internal structure and data science best practices ensuring robustness of work and enabling cross-collaboration between team members * Lead project management and client demonstrations of DERIVE, a web-based load modeling platform that estimates site and grid level impact (economic, carbon, energy) of various combinations of DERs including (Solar, CHP, EV, and Energy Storage) * Mentor teammates interested in analytics documenting training and onboarding materials. * Run a range of analyses including weather normalized billing analysis, net-to-gross analysis + statistical tests, and load disaggregation.

* Defined product requirements for smart mobility infrastructure that combines electric vehicle (EV) charging, energy storage, digital signage, small cell wireless, and lighting. * Led cross-disciplinary design of Totem’s infrastructure, resolving constraints across electrical, structural, mechanical and thermal engineering. * Prototyped and deployed 8ft Totem steel column equipped with operational power inverter, energy storage, EV charging and smart lighting. * Integrated Totem hardware with cloud-based software platform to dynamically balance energy in real-time, display energy usage, and control/monitor key internal equipment. * Assessed customer needs to create mobile app to maximize end-user EV charging at Totem, including app design, wireframes and integration of loyalty programs. * Served as point person for key customer relationships to manage timelines, installations, and troubleshooting. * Led product development in 6 member Agile team, including product backlog prioritization, backlog grooming, sprint planning, daily standup, and retrospectives. * Evaluated the latest state and utility policy/program changes for business opportunities * Created statistical models to forecast and visualize electrical demand for commercial customers using past load and temperature data to reduce demand charges. * Deployed 10 energy monitoring devices at commercial properties across NY, CT, and CA to analyze power quality and created 10 virtual monitoring devices to integrate with 3rd party solar APIs.

*Supervised 8 engineering designers on capital and reliability projects to storm-harden overhead electrical infrastructure. *Analyzed telemetry data and met with customers to determine root cause and provide corrective action on customer outages and interruptions.

* Directed 4 field crews using infrared cameras to proactively detect electrical defects to improve service reliability. * Managed pilot programs between utility and technology vendors to test innovative and disruptive technologies (Infrared, Ultrasound, LiDar) in field. * Led design with external vendors and deployed a vehicle with a pan-tilt mount and remote-enabled infrared camera to perform rapid overhead line inspection for defects. * Won Con Edison TEAM Award for Safety and Ergonomics.

* Enhanced supervisory and project management experience rotating through Engineering and Construction, and Substation groups as part of an accelerated development program. * Spearheaded installation of over 100 RFID markers on leak prone gas assets across Manhattan to analyze the marker’s efficacy in identifying and repairing gas leaks.

Developed a novel system, Clinical Trial on a Chip (CToC), to measure the impact of pharmaceutical drugs on cells as part of a senior design project in collaboration with Columbia University's Laboratory for Stem Cells and Tissue Engineering. CToC automated electrical signal analysis approach to pharmaceutical drug testing. Design involved hardware and software components for capturing bioelectrical signals and performing digital signal analysis of cellular responses to applied drugs. Received a Honorable Mention award at IEEE Region 1 Conference.
