Building Innovative & Secure Solutions for Data Centers

About Me

I am a Chicago-based electrical and technology professional with more than 20 years in the electrical industry and extensive experience designing, building, and analyzing solutions for mission-critical Data Centers. My expertise spans electrical design, engineering, cost estimating, and project delivery, with a proven record of leading projects that improve efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. I bring deep field knowledge and genuine passion for this industry to every project, building robust, fast, and scalable systems that move the work forward.

Beyond delivering projects, I design and build new tools that solve problems this industry has long handled by hand, turning complex engineering workflows into software that is faster, more accurate, and repeatable. My work is grounded in engineering discipline, continuous learning and development, and sustainability, and I believe effective communication and clear, actionable feedback are essential to success. Every platform I build is secured to enterprise standards from day one, with two-factor authentication and role-based access control.

Projects

Electrical Tool Set

A modular suite of custom tools, including the Rapid Estimating Tool, spanning the full electrical project lifecycle: design, engineering, preconstruction, estimating, purchasing, labor, safety, training, and historical data, with third-party integrations connecting it all. Every module is built to fit the way a team actually works, like a custom-fit glove.

Commodity Price Tracker

This tool automatically pulls and logs daily pricing for key materials like copper, aluminum, steel, and PVC. It provides a reliable historical data source for material costs and feeds the latest daily pricing directly into the Rapid Estimating Tool.

Mechanical Equipment Load & Feeder Sizing Tool

Simplifies the complex process of calculating electrical loads for mechanical equipment. Users enter equipment parameters, and the tool automatically calculates the results, including feeder sizing, circuit breaker selection, voltage drop, and ambient temperature adjustments.

Conduit Fill & Sizing Tool

This tool simplifies the process of calculating conduit and raceway fill. It accounts for different wire types and insulation ratings across all raceway types, and automates calculations based on the NEC and other relevant standards.

Generator Sizing Calculator

This comprehensive tool automates the process of sizing a generator and planning its fuel logistics. It calculates the optimal generator size based on current and future demand while also determining fuel tank size and refueling schedules.

More Coming Soon!

New modules are always in development, bringing the same speed, accuracy, and security to every part of Data Center electrical work. Stay tuned for more announcements!
