Work History

Energy System Designer

Tesla
04.2025 - Current
  • Designed end‑to‑end residential PV + BESS, using AutoCAD to deliver complete construction plan sets for AHJ permitting.
  • Ensured compliance with NEC, state and local requirements, eliminating redesigns and shortening approval cycles.
  • Collaborated with multiple teams to carry out the project, including structural, interconnection, field operations, and permitting.
  • Contributed to approximately 400 kW of distributed solar capacity, supporting the global transition to sustainable energy.

Microelectronics Winter Camp Internship

KAUST
01.2025 - 03.2025
  • Completed a six‑week research internship at KAUST’s smart grid laboratory, focusing on renewable energy systems.
  • Modeled and compared the performance of horizontal (HAWT) and vertical axis (VAWT) wind turbines using MATLAB/Simulink.
  • Assessed dynamic behavior, efficiency, and power output under varying wind conditions.
  • Provided technical input for early‑stage decision‑making in a wind energy project.

Research Intern

ZHAW School of Engineering
08.2024 - 11.2024
  • Developed a detailed microgrid model in MATLAB/Simulink, integrating PV, wind, batteries, dynamic load, and grid connection.
  • Implemented power balance control strategies and optimization algorithms to manage active power flow among system components.
  • The model was used to assess dynamic performance and prepare real-time testing through hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) platforms such as Typhoon.
