Lead Distribution Engineer working on grid modernization and reliability-based projects for Florida Power and Light.As a Lead Distribution Engineer specializing in overhead to underground lateral conversion projects, my role is pivotal in orchestrating the transformation of power distribution systems. I oversee the entire project lifecycle, from initial planning to execution and completion. Responsibilities include designing and implementing technical solutions for the conversion, coordinating with cross-functional teams, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards, and managing community engagement efforts. My focus is on optimizing reliability, safety, and aesthetics while leveraging innovative technologies to enhance the overall efficiency of the power distribution infrastructure. Through strategic leadership, I drive successful project outcomes and contribute to the continuous improvement of distribution systems.Perform field engineering distribution engineering and computer-based analysis and design functions to strengthen and enhance (i.e. harden) electrical grids by designing power distribution lines and pole configurations to withstand high speed winds, upgrading older materials with more reliable modern counterparts, and upgrading conductor lines to accommodate larger capacity. The design efforts begin with a review of the GIS system, Feeder and lateral mapping data, verification of the accuracy and reliability of the data and drawings. Design transmission underbuilt feeder to meet NESC and client design standards.

I program Macros in VBA to automate a variety of tasks to save both time and money. This progresses efficiency and increases productivity. I also utilize VBA to perform data analysis and display desired data in a professional manner.

Designed and assembled apparatus used for testing several components of sprinklers due to extreme conditions such as tensile strength and vibrational endurance in order to predict long-term results. Utilized PTC Creo to design custom parts and create sketches in order to be machined or welded. Collaborated with engineers for instruction and engineering technicians for standard testing setups and procedures in order to meet industry standards, such as UL Standards, and client demand.
