01 / About
Where software meets the power system.
I’m a software engineer by training and an energy analyst by trade. After a BEng in Software Engineering at Ontario Tech University, I followed the code into the power system — through Hydro One and Ontario Power Generation — and landed at the Ontario Energy Board, where I work at the intersection of regulation, data and Ontario’s energy transition.
“The grid is the most interesting distributed system I’ve ever worked on.”
