Grounded in operation.
More than 25 years across nuclear power, combined-cycle generation, renewables and grid infrastructure.
Professional background includes nuclear training instruction, dispatch leadership, grid-code / TSO compliance consulting and ANRE IIIB / IVB authorisations. Current scope and validity of any regulated authorisation must be confirmed for the engagement.
My work connects project delivery with the realities of commissioning, dispatch and operation. I help teams question assumptions, clarify interfaces and turn technical uncertainty into a practical plan.
