Selected Work

Projects measured in outcomes, not specs.

A selection of work across underwriting, project development, and execution — each one framed by what it moved: capital, risk, or delivery.

01

Underwriting a $300M renewable portfolio

Power Energy Risk · 2023 – 2024

Conducted risk evaluation for 50+ utility-scale wind, solar, and battery storage projects across a $300M portfolio. Analyzed claims data to identify the dominant loss drivers for each technology and proposed policy updates that improved portfolio resilience and reduced future risk exposure. Communicated findings to corporate leadership in weekly presentations — and led an internal software redesign that improved underwriting accuracy and team efficiency.

Contractor strategy for rooftop wind microgrids

Hover Energy · 2026 – Present

The bridge between Hover's wind-microgrid technology and the partners who deliver it. I evaluate what the system can do, scope the work each project requires, and select and coordinate the contractors responsible for execution — keeping technical reality and commercial commitments aligned.

03

Microgrid business cases that moved capital

Hover Energy · 2025

Built wind, solar, and load models for three proposed microgrid projects and presented the business case for each to senior leadership, directly advancing capital allocation decisions. Also developed an AI tool that automatically screens tax incentives and grants across U.S. states — cutting project evaluation time from hours to minutes and sharpening which projects pencil.

Market analysis behind a $3M pre-seed raise

Osmoses, Inc. · 2022 – 2023

At this MIT spinout, conducted market analysis across the gas separation industries, built financial models, and supported the pitch deck that helped secure $3M in pre-seed funding. On the technical side, standardized manufacturing methods across 1,000+ process variations — enabling the company's first commercial-scale deployment and a 90% emissions reduction in chemical separations.

Cross-functional rotor redesign

Hover Energy · 2025

Project-managed a cross-functional redesign that resolved a decade-long performance issue in Hover's rooftop wind system — coordinating engineering workstreams and stakeholders to improve microgrid efficiency. Less a technical exercise than a lesson in driving a stalled problem to a decision.
