I lead complex software-enabled systems from architecture to operational readiness.

My background spans embedded software, software-defined vehicles, and electrification. My current work extends that foundation into power systems and infrastructure readiness.

Current work

Through EnersynQ, I develop analytical methods, models, and case studies focused on power-constrained infrastructure, flexible loads, and delivery risk.

Accepted · NAPS

Coordinating Electric Vehicle Fleet Charging Against Distribution Transformer Thermal Limits

A constraint-first study comparing unmanaged charging, thermally managed charging and storage-backed coordination under identical delivered energy.

Power Readiness

Methods and applied cases examining which physical constraint binds first, how timing and flexibility change the answer, and what evidence is needed for a credible delivery decision.
