About
Power systems engineer (MSc, Distinction in view, September 2026) with industrial engineering experience and MSc-level depth in network analysis, seeking to apply that expertise in a power systems consultancy environment. Experienced in power system studies using DIgSILENT PowerFactory, including load flow, fault level and voltage stability analysis, and in translating study results into engineering recommendations. This is combined with hands-on industrial experience in electrical testing, fault diagnosis and system verification, and a dissertation evaluating dispatch strategies for a utility-scale renewable plant against wholesale market signals.
Naturally analytical, comfortable assessing multiple interdependent factors, and used to communicating technical findings clearly. MIET and working towards Chartered Engineer status.
