About
Engineering clarity for a more capable distribution grid.
I am an electrical engineer and consultant specializing in power distribution systems and smart grids. My focus is the practical intersection of network analysis, digitalization, smart metering, and the integration of distributed energy resources.
I enjoy turning complex technical questions into structured methods, transparent models, and recommendations that engineering and management teams can use. My background combines utility consulting with an MSc in Electrical Engineering, Smart Grids, from Politecnico di Milano.
