  • Nov 2017 - Jul 2021

  Chicago, Illinois I managed and exceeded profitability targets for 930 MW of wind farms across ERCOT and SPP. Additionally, I've facilitated successful registration and commissioning of Invenergy's largest wind plant at the time (302.4 MW) in ERCOT. In my first year, I was personally responsible for bringing over 40 MW of capacity back online through major repairs totaling over $7MM.

Additionally, I've facilitated successful registration and commissioning of Invenergy's largest wind plant at the time (302.4 MW) in ERCOT. In my first year, I was personally responsible for bringing over 40 MW of capacity back online through major repairs totaling over $7MM. I evaluated, implemented, and received investor consent for various trading strategies to increase revenues or hedge against forecasted risk--including the first ever Regulation Down Ancillary Services for a wind generator in ERCOT. I consistently applied engineering analysis techniques in pursuit of cost-savings and revenue-enhancing propositions as well as innovative applications of technologies across technical fields. I onboarded and trained multiple analysts who proved successful in their roles. Show less

• Co-Founder, Vice President

  • Nov 2013 - Jul 2017

  Madison, Wisconsin Area I performed hundreds of market interviews to apply lean startup techniques and determine the Xemex mixer's most effective market entry point. After this was determined, my founding partner and I were able to raise a seed round of funding to successfully bring the Xemex to market. I designed the experimentation necessary to assess the performance of static mixer design and ultimately, optimize the Xemex static mixing nozzle to reduce adhesive waste by 60% compared to market-leading products… Show more I performed hundreds of market interviews to apply lean startup techniques and determine the Xemex mixer's most effective market entry point. After this was determined, my founding partner and I were able to raise a seed round of funding to successfully bring the Xemex to market. I designed the experimentation necessary to assess the performance of static mixer design and ultimately, optimize the Xemex static mixing nozzle to reduce adhesive waste by 60% compared to market-leading products. This included extensive technical and numerical analysis across existing mixer designs, adhesive types, and parameters affecting fluid flow. The process applied a Darwinian approach to determine the most impactful and beneficial design parameters. Show less
