One view for every dollar spent keeping the lights clean.
A working MVP concept, a live proof-of-concept, and the track record behind them — put together for the Energy Integration Manager conversation.

01 · The MVP
From a manual script to a decision-grade pipeline
Five stages, in order — each one removes a specific piece of risk before the next stage can trust the data.
01 / INGEST
Ingestion
Enverus API (replaces custom scripts)
ELF + renewable cost feeds
02 / NORMALIZE
Common Schema
$/MWh, region, cost basis
Timestamp-aligned
03 / SERVE
Backend / API
/costs/dc · /costs/clean
/costs/compare
04 / VIEW
Interface
KPI strip, sortable table
DC vs. clean trend chart
05 / DECIDE
AI Layer
Anomaly flags
Auto-drafted briefs
Why this order matters: kill the manual custom scripts first — they're the single biggest maintenance risk — then normalize ELF and renewable cost data onto one comparable cost basis, and only then let the AI layer turn that into a brief someone can act on.
02 · Proof of Concept
AWS Lookout for Equipment, wind turbines
Vibration, oil pressure, and output data feed a health model — paired with wind forecasts to turn "is it healthy?" into "how much power will it make?"

Illustrative data — placeholder for real Lookout for Equipment output.
Why it matters: pairing equipment health with wind forecasts turns a maintenance question into a production-capacity forecast — the same forecast-vs-capacity logic ELF and renewable cost tracking will need.
03 · Track Record
Prior work that maps directly to this role
Co-authored AWS blog: integrating OSIsoft PI System with Esri ArcGIS for real-time utility dashboarding.
What I built (AWS, 2021)
Integrated OSIsoft PI System (SCADA/time-series) with Esri ArcGIS so grid sensor data and geospatial asset data live in one composite view
Designed a highly available reference architecture across multiple Availability Zones
Enabled a real-time Operations Dashboard plus a time-enabled feature layer for live status and historical playback
Gave stakeholders beyond the control room a shared, trusted view of asset health
What this role needs
Integrate fragmented energy data into one decision-grade portfolio picture
Set the metrics, cadence, and architecture leadership runs the portfolio by
Move reporting from periodic/manual to continuous and predictive
Translate the integrated view into executive-ready narratives
Published, peer-reviewed AWS work: "Integrate OSIsoft PI and Esri ArcGIS on AWS for Real-time Utility Dashboards and Analysis," AWS for Industries blog, co-authored with AWS Power & Utilities specialists, March 2021.
04 · Mission Alignment
Climate impact work, behind the scenes
Technical contributor and architecture lead — the AWS + Esri geospatial platform behind The Nature Conservancy's tree-equity work.
What I architected
Architecture lead on the AWS + Esri ArcGIS platform behind TNC's "Climate Next" tree-equity and urban afforestation work
Combined satellite tree-cover data, land surface temperature, and socio-economic variables into one spatial feasibility model
Backed Esri ArcGIS StoryMaps on S3 + Aurora so scientists could turn raw data into stories for policymakers
Same pattern applied to the Zanzibar mangrove-protection project in the same AWS series
Why it fits this team's mission
Direct, hands-on experience turning climate/geospatial data into decision-grade tools
Built the same "data into a story leadership can act on" pipeline this role needs for renewable vs. ELF narratives
Comfortable being the connective tissue between analysts and the infrastructure that scales their work
A track record of shipping tools in service of a 1.5°C-aligned mission
