I Build Systems That Scale

Challenge: Distribution networks were operating near capacity, with measurable energy losses and increasing pressure to integrate renewables without compromising reliability. Approach: Led system capital projects for capacity expansion and energy loss reduction, coordinating across engineering, construction, and public works to navigate regulatory requirements and deliver within operational constraints. Impact: Optimized capacity planning by 20%, reduced operational costs by 15%, and increased completion efficiency by 10%.

Challenge: New York State faced critical system-wide infrastructure constraints across its generation and distribution facilities, increasing reliability risk and limiting the ability to scale/modernize supporting systems. Approach: I led a statewide infrastructure program at NYPA, coordinating across generation facilities and transmission assets while managing vendor delivery and cross-functional teams across a 1,400+ circuit-mile footprint. Impact: Delivered 90% 5G availability increase, reduced system burden by 70%, and achieved $15M in cost savings (15% reduction).

Challenge: Building the energy infrastructure for a Queens, NY transit corridor redevelopment was behind schedule and over budget, with contractor inefficiencies and complex coordination across public agencies and utility stakeholders. Approach: Re-stabilized delivery by resetting milestones, tightening procurement and cost controls, and coordinating contractor work within active utility corridors. Led sequencing and readiness planning for switching, commissioning, and energization activities, aligning field crews, inspectors, and public agencies to safely restore progress. Impact: Reduced budget overruns by 20%, accelerated timeline by 10%, and increased stakeholder satisfaction by 30%.

Challenge: Enterprise organizations struggled with fragmented operational workflows and disconnected data, limiting decision-making and execution at scale. Approach: Led technical implementation for 20+ enterprise organizations, designing custom dashboards and API integrations while prototyping 15+ AI/ML automation features/workflows in close collaboration with the engineering team for scalable solutions. Impact: Achieved 94%+ customer satisfaction serving 10,000+ total customers with 93%+ feature reliability and saved 50+ hours per quarter per organization.
