Experience

  • Principal Investigator Climate Risk Analytics, LLC · Full-time Jul 2025 – Present 1 yrs 2 mos Washington D.C., DC, USA Lead inventor and systems architect for a 30+ patent portfolio in electromechanical energy plants: power-bank storage, fluid-based thermal management, LPG generation, and geothermal-coupled microgrids.
    Specify islandable electrical architectures for data-center and defense loads — switchgear concepts, power-bank plants, fluid thermal loops, and hardened distribution for DFARS-compliant U.S. government procurement.
    Advance AEGIS / HOOP as a physical Utility-as-a-Service plant: heat, cool, and power from on-site electromechanical equipment rather than a fragile feeder.
    Direct Virginia manufacturing outreach for power-bank, thermal-loop, and assembly work; package Navy / DOE / DARPA / Air Force SBIR pilots around hardware deliverables.
    Run multi-physics design-audit cycles (CFD/FEA surrogates) to shorten electromechanical package review before shop-floor release.
  • Quantitative Energy Advisory International Finance Corporation · Full-time Mar 2024 – Jul 2026 2 yrs 4 mos Washington D.C., DC, USA Applied physical and technology risk scoring to industrial energy-efficiency plants and electrical assets; supported structuring of approximately $185 million in investment vehicles.
    Built client-segmentation and product-matching frameworks so five global financial institutions could de-risk electromechanical upgrades (efficiency, generation, storage, grid-interface equipment) faster.
  • Energy Operations Auditor I Amazon · Full-time Jan 2024 – Jul 2026 2 yrs 6 mos Alexandria, VA, USA Audited energy-transaction data, validation, and forecasting across logistics hubs, warehouses, transportation nodes, and Whole Foods — multi-site electrical load books in practice.
    Stood up centralized data governance for energy reporting and SEC-facing controls; improved predictive accuracy on facility electrical demand.
  • Director, Corporate Responsibility & Regulatory Compliance Riveron Consulting, LLC · Full-time Mar 2022 – Mar 2023 1 yrs Washington D.C., DC, USA Led regulatory-compliance and corporate-responsibility workstreams for industrial and energy-adjacent clients, including controls that sit next to plant electrical and environmental reporting.
  • Energy Operations / Infrastructure Specialist World Bank Group · Full-time Nov 2009 – Jan 2021 11 yrs 2 mos Washington D.C., DC, USA Advised public- and private-sector clients on energy-efficiency, generation, and infrastructure-risk programs spanning national grids and large industrial electrical plants.
    Treated electrical assets as underwritten physical systems — ratings, performance risk, and procurement integrity — later applied to CRA electromechanical plants.

Education

  • Instituto Superior Técnico Masters, Energy Systems Engineering, 3.8 2014 – 2015 MIT Portugal Program | Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) & MIT Affiliate
    Graduate training in energy systems, plant integration, and sustainability metrics applied to generation, storage, and end-use electrical infrastructure.

    Renewables Integration & Smart Grids
    Prof. Stephen R. Connors (MIT): Director of the Analysis Group for Regional Energy Alternatives (AGREA). He was the driving force behind the "Green Islands" project in the Azores, specializing in wind/solar integration and smart grid optimization.

    Prof. Carlos Silva (IST Lisboa): Leads extensive research and teaching in demand response, microgrid modeling, and the integration of decentralized renewables into smart grids.

    Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) & Industrial Ecology
    Prof. Paulo Ferrão (IST Lisboa): Co-founder of the MIT Portugal Program. His expertise in industrial ecology, urban metabolism, and waste-to-energy systems defined the LCA approach for the entire curriculum.

    Dr. Randolph Kirchain (MIT): Principal Research Scientist at MIT's Materials Systems Laboratory. He provides deep expertise in the economic and environmental life-cycle implications of materials and energy systems.

    Sustainable Buildings & Urban Energy Systems
    Prof. Eduardo Oliveira Fernandes (University of Porto): A pioneer in building physics and indoor air quality, leading research on sustainable urban energy models and energy efficiency within the built environment.

    Prof. Vítor Leal (FEUP): Specializes in urban energy planning, building thermal dynamics, and modeling energy consumption at the city level.
