Summary

  • Resourceful Electrical Engineer with a strong foundation in power systems, specializing in earthing design, lightning protection, and low-frequency induction studies across transmission, distribution, and substation landscape. With each project I undertake, I bring a commitment to technical excellence, safety, and continuous improvement, demonstrated through my work on complex, large-scale infrastructure projects for clients such across Australia.
  • Certified in CDEGS (Level 1), I’ve led and delivered end-to-end earthing studies including EPR/LFI, Lightning Protection and EMF studies, ensuring compliance with Australian Standards and utility-specific requirements. I consistently apply a win-win approach and collaborate cross-functionally to resolve field challenges, implement effective engineering solutions, and drive project success.
  • I am equally passionate about mentoring early-career engineers, contributing to team capability growth, and pursuing professional excellence through Chartered status. With a strong work ethic, a growth mindset, and an eye for detail, I aim to become a recognized subject matter expert in earthing and make meaningful contributions to Australia’s evolving energy landscape.
