Builds AI-assisted tools and automated workflows, defines technical requirements, evaluates outputs and directs revisions. Combines engineering coordination and documentation with hands-on review of AI-assisted systems.

Professional experience and AI automation

PowerFlex

Development Engineer II, Solar and Storage · Dec 2024 – Sep 2026

• Managed technical development of a 60-project commercial solar and storage portfolio across six states, coordinating feasibility, interconnection, permitting, vendors and engineering handoffs.
• Coordinated utility studies and deficiency resolution across eight utilities; prepared 11+ engineering handoff packages.
• Built email automation workflows with Microsoft Teams synchronization and API-based information retrieval to address repetitive coordination and information-handling tasks.
• Provided engineering context and workflow requirements, developed tools with AI assistance and reviewed outputs against team needs.
• Worked on additional internal AI tools to address team inefficiencies; implementation details remain confidential.
• Developed a human-reviewed workflow for researching state interconnection requirements, piloted across four states; presented practical AI workflows to colleagues in July 2026.
• Developed a business case for a nine-project rooftop workflow and an AI-assisted preliminary single-line-diagram generator; the drawing tool remained unfinished.

Standard Solar

Associate Development Engineer · Mar 2023 – Nov 2024

• Prepared initial 30% design drawings for 100+ photovoltaic systems, including site layouts and supporting calculations.
• Tracked initial interconnection applications for 40 projects across six utilities; supported system modeling, site visits and code-related calculations.

AI-assisted software and evaluation projects

Tickmason

Independent software project · Ongoing

• Define requirements and acceptance criteria for a local futures execution application, including chart interactions, stop placement, risk sizing and explicit state feedback.
• Direct AI-assisted implementation and evaluate behavior against written specifications; identify discrepancies and guide corrective revisions.
• Review how the interface communicates unknown broker state and entry restrictions. Distinguish screenshots, automated test results and accepted behavior.
• AI agents perform the coding; my contributions are domain context, requirements, workflow decisions and output evaluation. No trading returns or commercial-readiness claims.

ENIGMA

Independent research and automation project · Ongoing

• Author requirements and acceptance criteria; coordinate AI-assisted implementation and review outputs against the specification.
• Investigate historical data gaps, trace data provenance and check futures-contract consistency; keep unresolved questions visible and separate passing checks from accepted outcomes.

TradingView Pine Script indicators

Independent chart tools

• Define indicator requirements and chart workflows for Time and Price and SMT tools; review AI-assisted revisions for intended display behavior and configuration.
• Use actual chart output as visual evidence while keeping source code and research rules private.

Earlier engineering and research experience

Standard Solar

PV Engineering Intern · Jun – Aug 2022
