I take emerging energy technologies from concept to commercial scale — building the technoeconomic proof that turns promising ideas into bankable, repeatable deployments.
12+ years across SunEdison, Tesla, and New Leaf Energy — spanning
utility-scale solar, BESS, wind, EV charging, microgrids, geothermal evaluation, and
data center energy infrastructure. I sit at the intersection of engineering rigor and
commercial strategy: I can build the model, close the deal, and scale the blueprint.
Known for architecting first-of-kind solutions that become industry standards —
from the Frito-Lay/PepsiCo Class-8 fleet electrification microgrid to the Google Regulus
solar investment, to the Moss Landing BESS (world's largest battery at deployment).
Currently leading portfolio strategy for a 3+ GW pipeline while evaluating
data center co-location, geothermal, and repowering as next-generation growth vectors.
Built and led a 30+ person engineering organization managing a 3+ GW pipeline of utility-scale solar, BESS, and wind projects. Leading post-ITC portfolio repositioning including land banking, policy & market valuations, and technology roadmaps for emerging opportunities.
Engineering Manager at Tesla during deployment of the Moss Landing BESS for PG&E — 256 Megapacks comprising the world’s largest battery installation at time of commissioning. Part of the team that scaled Tesla Energy storage deployment from 6.5 GWh to 31.4 GWh annually.
Led technical-commercial due diligence on Google’s $145M tax equity investment in the 82 MW Regulus solar project — 248,000 mono-crystalline modules on a 737-acre site with a 20-year SCE PPA. Established standardized design blocks that scaled across the GW-scale pipeline.
Architected the first integrated Solar + BESS + Class-8 EV charging microgrid for a commercial fleet depot. No prior industry template existed — required novel interconnection design, load management, and behind-the-meter optimization. Became the standardized blueprint for subsequent deployments.
Owned multi-year energy strategy for Tesla Gigafactory campuses — generation mix modeling, storage integration timing, and build-out sequencing aligned to reliability targets, cost envelopes, and net-zero commitments.
Engineering diligence and drop-down structuring across TerraForm Power’s 808 MW portfolio (200+ projects). Supported integration of the $2.4B First Wind acquisition (521 MW operating + 1.6 GW pipeline). Also led diligence on Beacon Solar (88 MW, LADWP).
Conducted full technology + market + financial evaluation of geothermal energy — covering EGS, closed-loop, Binary Cycle, and emerging drilling technologies. Mapped the US geothermal landscape, analyzed ITC treatment and domestic content, and assessed the big-tech 24/7 PPA trend driving commercialization.
Authored comprehensive strategy for co-locating PV + BESS + load interconnection at data center sites. Analyzed all tiers from Hyperscale (500 MW–4 GW+) to Edge, mapped fiber networks and latency constraints, and engaged directly with data center developers on site acquisition.
Led systematic assessment of 177 wind projects (15 GW) across MISO/SPP, evaluating 7 configuration options from fossil-to-BESS conversion through full wind+solar+storage hybrids. Extended analysis to 742 MW of DG solar repower opportunities across MA, NY, and IL.
Leading strategic repositioning of a 3+ GW portfolio as ITC structures evolve under IRA. Modeling economics across adder scenarios (energy communities, domestic content), evaluating market participation in ISO/RTO capacity markets, and building the analytical framework for capital reallocation decisions.
