Summary Profile:

Energy engineer finishing an MSc in Energy Management, now in Singapore writing my thesis at NUS on a campus
virtual power plant. I built an optimisation model in Python (Pyomo) that runs the campus cooling, rooftop solar,
batteries and electric-bus charging as one system, and measures how much it is worth in Singapore’s electricity
market. It runs on real meter data from 17 buildings.
Before that I spent three years part-time at an Italian chemical manufacturer: I worked on the expansion of its
solar plant (production data, supplier quotes, permits), took a new pumping system from supplier selection to
commissioning, and owned the company’s carbon footprint under the GHG Protocol. University projects include a
cost model for battery-electric and hybrid ships and an agent-based simulation to size an electric van fleet.
Looking for engineering roles in renewables, storage, cooling or grids in Singapore. Available from May 2027.
