Professional Summary

Experienced Sustainability and Resilience Engineer with over 18 years’ expertise in developing sustainable energy and water efϐiciency solutions, adhering to international standards including ISO 14040 & ISO 14044 for life cycle assessments (LCA), and ISO 16745-1 covering Carbon Metrics and Reporting. I have honed my skills in orchestrating cross-functional roles to deliver Custom Engineered solutions tailored to my client’s needs. My approach has consistently led to successful project outcomes, reducing burdens on Facilities Maintenance staff through innovative and efϐicient project designs, including constant Commissioning Systems. In addition, I continue to lead Energy Engineering teams, engage Stake Holders using a consistent and reliable schedule, and share what I have learned and encouraging them to continuously improve their skills in identifying opportunities. I have and will continue to bring value to any client by staying on top of innovative technology, that often helps us exceed our customers’ expectations. As a necessary component of ensuring project success, I have developed various audit and assessment tools for Water and Energy Resilience, Sustainability and Disaster Recovery to address natural and anthropogenic interruptions in power for all critical facilities. As an Innovative Engineer, I will continue to improve my solution- set, while decreasing the complexity and impact on facility managers. In addition, every proposed solution or ECM must meet the guidelines stated in the LCA, of which De-Carbonization and Environmental impact are essential parts of the program.
