Leading the evaluation and risk mitigation of wind turbine technology for Invenergy's offshore wind projects in the US and globally, including Leading Light Wind (OCS-A 0542) and Even Keel Wind (OCS-P 0565).

Managed team of Systems and Validation engineers for new product design on installed GE & non-GE onshore wind turbines, including repowering and performance or other upgrade solutions. Responsible for turbine-level design definition, system trade-off decisions, risk mitigation, and requirements validation.

Led team of engineers to identify the largest issues causing lost availability and production on GE's North America fleet under contract, resolving technical issues in the fleet, particularly around performance. Led team of analytics engineers and developers to improve contractual performance monitoring and reporting and develop in-house data analytics tools to allow for more proactive capabilities using turbine operational data.

Systems lead for the evolution of the 2MW-116 onshore wind turbine models, ensuring system-level requirements are defined, technical risks are identified and mitigated, and leading the program throughout the design cycle through validation and third-party certification.
