About Me
Articulate, inquisitive, analytical Energy Engineer E.I.T. and Chemical Engineering Technologist!
Passionate about sustainable and novel technologies. Over the past 4 years, I have been investigating, developing, advancing and/or implementing cutting edge technologies such as:
Renewable Energy; solar, wind, hydro, geothermal energy
Circular Economy; thermomechanical rubber devulcanization (recycling)
Carbon Capture; fuel-cell electrolysis, amine scrubbing
Sustainability; urban agriculture, life cycle assessment modeling, biomimicry
Manufacturing & Mechanical Systems; extruders, 3D printers, HVAC, self-balancing robots, hybrid drill-rigs, scale engines
Using my first-principle focused engineering, entrepreneurial thinking, project management, data analytics, financial modelling, process & power system simulation, and prototyping skills I turn ideas into reality.
Enjoy browsing through my portfolio to learn more about my adventures and achievements!
