Hello, I'm Rodney.
I'm an electrical engineer with hands-on experience in power systems design, installation and commissioning, renewable energy infrastructure and electrical safety compliance. My background spans HV, MV and LV distribution network maintenance, AC/DC systems, protective device coordination and embedded systems.
I work in AutoCAD, Fusion 360, Revit, ETAP and DIgSILENT PowerFactory, and I'm currently studying for an MSc in Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
I want to apply my power systems and design skills to large-scale electrification, and I'm growing my expertise in high voltage design, smart grid technologies and renewable grid integration.
