Hello, I’m Mike. I build energy infrastructure for sustainable cities with teams and partners so people get reliable services and resilient places.
This is a collection of projects, notes, and things I’m trying to understand. Take a look around.

Hi, I’m Mike.
I’m an engineer working in energy infrastructure and low-carbon building strategy. My work spans district energy, central plants, and the practical questions behind changing how buildings use energy.
Here, I want to make space for the thinking behind that work: the constraints, the questions, and the choices that deserve a closer look.
