About Me

Left my job in January 2020 to travel (on pause) and teach myself Software Engineering. What drew me to this was the idea of using data in any field (healthcare, education, sports, etc.) to improve something as efficiently as possible. I would love to work with data that furthers humanity in some way. I also love problem solving and working with creative minds.

Previously worked as an Electrical Engineer in the utilities industry at Pepco for 4.5 years, more specifically with underground radial feeders in downtown Washington DC. Also approved solar applications from contractors and engineers which included on-site visits and running power flows.

My interests include tea, movies, music, board games (especially chess), reading, traveling, learning, biking and yoga. I love spending time with family and friends and have met amazing people in Washington D.C. and in my travels across the world.

Capacity Planning Engineer

Pepco 05/2017 - 01/2020 (2 Years & 9 Months) Washington D.C. Metro Area www.pepco.com

Public utility that supplies electric power to the city of Washington, D.C. and to surrounding communities in Maryland. It is owned by Exelon.

Projects & Responsibilities

• Create construction recommendations for feeders/substations by analyzing fieldwork and data pulled from engineering programs such as EasyPower (LVAC groups) and CYME (radial distribution groups).
• Forecast electrical load for the next 2-10 years by using knowledge of new construction work, incorporating Distributed Energy Resources (DER), load transfers/cutovers and using historical loads.
• Answer Data Requests for the Public Service Commission in DC by providing written answers and data to back up all of our construction recommendations.
• Manage more than $200 million worth of load growth construction projects within DC. Lead monthly budget meetings with other Planning Engineers, Distribution Engineers, Project Managers and cost controllers.
• Study, analyze and approve/reject NEM and CREF solar applications for customers > 50kW on the LVAC and radial systems.
