Bio

My background is in studying power grids to ensure they will remain reliable for decades to come. This profession is called "Transmission Planning", and I lead the Transmission Planning team at Nira. Our team is codifying the way transmission planners study the grid to help expedite the integration of new power plants like solar, wind, and energy storage projects. Our clients use our software to more simply navigate this complex space.
