About Me
I became passionate about sustainable energy during my bachelor's degree and that led me to do my bachelor's thesis on a logarithmic spiral wind turbine. I further chose to pursue a master's in sustainable energy technology and develop my career in the same field. In my professional journey, I have gained experience in the span of rural, urban, private consulting and public sector. I have developed a unique skill set at the crossroads of Technical know-how, Strategy and Process development. With each passing year, my experiences have helped me create a larger impact. Below I have tried to showcase the same with my professional journey.
Apart from sustainability, I also enjoy the field of weather forecasting and side gigs/hustle, about which you can read here.
