I work across the full project lifecycle—from early project development and conceptual engineering through detailed engineering, project management support, and execution—bridging technical delivery and commercial strategy within engineering-led environments.My background spans both traditional energy projects and decarbonization and energy transition initiatives, where technical credibility, stakeholder alignment, and disciplined project evaluation are critical.
