Dad, husband, engineer.
I work at a unique cross section of engineering, business and analytics, where I leverage data to help clients make better strategic decisions around asset management, regulatory compliance and enterprise risk. I'm fascinated by the power industry, data science and the energy transition.
Ever wonder where your power comes from? I do, so I built a web app to find out:
If you want to see where Alberta's power is being produced right now, take a look at the live version of the app. Each block represents a generating source in Alberta. The Total Net Generation delivered by each source is highlighted according to the colour bar (e.g., the source delivering the most power is yellow). Sources are grouped on the x-axis according to the type of energy. Maximum Capabilities are shown in the adjacent grey stack. Hover over blocks for more information, and zoom in for detail. The app is written in Python and leverages the Plotly/Dash framework. The data in this static version shown here was retrieved on July 2, 2020 at 20:02 from AESO's Current Supply Demand Report.
I'm a registered professional engineer (P.Eng.)
I like to travel, bake and hike.
I have an MSc (give my thesis a read if you have trouble sleeping, it's been known to help with that).
I used to research lab-on-chip technology for point-of-care diagnostic testing. Some of the work is published here, here and here.
And before that, I researched brains.
In my spare time I program things in Python like machine-learning based NHL Stanley Cup winner predictors, tools for power systems analysis, and this website.
Impressionism is my favourite style of art, and although I haven't been to many galleries, I really enjoyed the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia.
