About

A short introduction and a bit of context

I work in infrastructure and project development, with a focus on energy and climate-related projects. My background spans early-stage opportunity development through execution, including project definition, feasibility, economics, risk, and engagement across technical, commercial, and policy constraints.

Much of my work has involved large, complex projects where success depends less on ambition and more on disciplined decision-making, timing, and an honest understanding of tradeoffs. I spend a lot of time thinking about how ideas move from concept to investable project, why some opportunities hold together under scrutiny while others do not, and how incentives and capital shape outcomes.

I am broadly interested in energy systems, climate infrastructure, and the practical realities of building things at scale. I am also curious about emerging opportunities and trends, whether in energy, technology, data, or adjacent areas, especially where narratives get ahead of execution or where real value may be underestimated.

This site is a personal space for longer-form writing. It is where I explore these interests in more depth than short posts allow, share observations from my work and travels, and think through questions that feel worth spending time on. It is not a consulting site or a product offering, just a place to write, reflect, and keep track of how my thinking evolves over time.

Outside of work, I spend a lot of time outdoors. I enjoy skiing, running, and being active when I can, and I value time spent with my family. I also enjoy travelling, reading, and learning new things, often following curiosity down paths that have nothing to do with my day job.
