Origin story
I've always been fascinated by the journey of electricity, how power travels from generation through complex grid networks to the simple flip of a switch in our homes. With a passion for modernizing energy systems, I'm exploring the intersection of power engineering, emerging technologies and AI to help shape the future of energy. Electrical engineering excites me because it's where innovation meets real-world impact.

Beat the Peak
A cold winter evening, a few years from now. Demand is growing and everyone gets home at once. Use the tools utilities are exploring to keep demand under capacity. This is a simplified, illustrative model, not real utility data.
Demand without toolsDemand with toolsCapacity
More homes, more electric heating and industry.
Water heaters and thermostats shift use out of the peak (demand response).
Charge when demand is low, discharge at the peak.
Great at noon. Look at what it does at 6 pm.
