Summary

Electrical Design Engineer || Power system engineer || Protection & Control engineer || Strategist || Project Planner || Smart Grid Enthusiast and Technology Professional || Renewable energy || Net zero advocate.. Experienced and articulate Electrical Engineer boasting 8+ years of industry proficiency. I am deeply passionate about electrical systems, with an interest in smart grid technology and renewable energy. My skill set includes expertise in ETAP, PSCAD, DigSlient, and Eracs for power system design, AutoCAD for design/drafting tasks, solar system planning, and AC-to-DC, and DC-to-DC converters, among other competencies. I have acquired extensive knowledge of the IEC 61850 standard, including its modeling and protocols. This expertise has enabled me to understand how it enhances control, protection, and overall intelligence of the grid. Additionally, I am proficient in using Ladder Logic and instruction sets to design and program Delta V and Siemens 300 Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). I hold an ECS academic qualification and possess an ECS White Card for safety compliance. My proven track record includes successful transformer testing, cable sizing, motor recoiling, and smart home automation projects. I am adept at reading electrical drawings, leading teams effectively, and maintaining organized practices. With extensive knowledge of renewable energy, I offer comprehensive services from conceptualization to commissioning, including energy auditing and distribution network planning. Furthermore, I bring previous experience in the construction sector with a focus on MEP designs. I graduated with distinction from Staffordshire University, UK, earning a Master's degree. I am actively seeking challenging opportunities to apply my innovative solutions. My interest extends to renewable energy integration, HVDC protection, control and transmission, EV charging systems, and overall electrical power System design. Noteworthy is my MSC and work experience project in the UK involving protection coordination, design, and simulation of over-voltage and under-voltage definite time relays. Additionally, I conducted detailed studies on transient recovery voltage (TRV) and pertinent standards. In another project, I designed a two-stage boost converter for a solar farm, with the first-stage output cascaded into the input of the second stage of the system. I am also well-versed in UK standardized operations within the power system domain.
