Mechanical Engineer with a passion for sustainability

Available
A passion for sustainability and the environment has lead me to become a specialist in solar thermal, mechanical design and analysis. I specialize in first order design and analysis of power plants (heat exchangers, solar receivers, thermal energy storage, process piping, valves, gas turbines) using Python and Excel VBA. My skills will prove valuable to any company looking to make a positive impact in the energy industry.
