Provide solutions for DER developers by performing Engineering Load Flow Studies to support interconnection of Distributed Energy Resource (DER) projects to Xcel Energy's distribution system safely and reliably.Address potential impacts to the transmission system by coordinating with the Midcontinent Independent System Operators (MISO) and internal Transmission Planning team to implement Transmission study processes to provide solutions for DER developers to interconnect safely and reliably to Xcel Energy's grid.Ensured clear alignment & communication in implementing transmission studies by developing an internal process to enforce Transmission Study requirements for the DER Integration team.

Ensured that Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant’s license compliance was maintained by designing and coordinating the capital modification and implementation of Transmitters necessary for emergency instrumentation and backup, increasing effective operation and generation for its customers. Supported Xcel’s Nuclear Generating Plant’s preventative maintenance strategy by completing engineering O&M projects for transformers, AC inductive motors, and AC protective devices (i.e. breakers, relays, etc.), allowing for the plants’ continued operation and generation for its customers. Increased efficiency for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant’s electrical team by designing and managing the implementation of a low voltage auxiliary backup system, saving them installation time and costs during refueling outages.Oversaw Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant's innovation efforts as part of Xcel Nuclear's Wireless Sensors project, installing online monitoring of plant equipment to save time and over $30000 in maintenance, operator rounds, and troubleshooting.

Carried out the mission and vision of becoming an efficient Helicopter and Cold Weather Unit by working with and training Marines in the squad to conduct successful Military operations and exercises. Ensured Marines were properly educated when it came to new missions and their performance in them. Key Accomplishments:•Carried out orders from the squad leader in order to maintain effectiveness during performance of military operations by serving as team leader and delegating responsibilities within the platoon.

•Provided cost-effective solutions throughout the duration of the internship by reducting the procurement of external products for their project site in Ghana, West Africa by designing a Solar Tower for distributing over 45 Watts of power to the IT department’s electronic devices that was tested to be suitable for application in supporting project completion at the company’s desired timeframe. • Implemented effective energy management of the facility utilizing the company’s project site in Middlesex, NJ by coordinating it’s troubleshooting, commissioning, and closeout, which was completed after 3 weeks of thermography testing and rewiring of fuses.

Increased sales, promoted loyalty, and catalyzed retention by selling electronics and providing troubleshooting, assistance, and answers to questions for a diverse clientele. Acquired new customers and strengthened customer confidence by providing in-depth technical explanations of equipment and its use.Key Accomplishments • Strengthened the company’s image in the community by representing them primarily as a mentor for their sponsored FIRST Robotics team, mentoring 106 students in the planning, design, and manufacturing of a robot for the FIRST Robotics Competition, which allowed them to showcase their knowledge & product. •Promoted more effective troubleshooting in a timely manner by instructed students in creating proper schematics and blueprints using AutoCAD 2012 for the robot's electrical system in order to better reference the wiring configuration of the devices. •Addressed quality of life issues for patients with learning disabilities by abetting other projects, including Project Methany, in the planning, designing, and manufacturing of devices, such as a Button Machine and Visual Stimulator. •Created better effects for the Hillsborough High school’s theatre team by guiding students in Project Theatre, designing and manufacturing the schools very first platform. •Optimized searching, referencing, and accessibility of relevant engineering resources by creating information storage and searching tools for the company’s RD&E department utilizing their SharePoint site and Microsoft Web based software.
