Who am I
Hailing from India, came to Australia to pursue my Master's in Electronics Engineering with a main focus on Renewable Energy. During my studies, I had the opportunity to intern at Schneider Electric which gave me a first-hand experience of the real world which got me excited in my career in the power sector. My first job out of university was at Energy Queensland and have stayed in the same company for the past 7 years. During my career, my focus has been in new technology development and deployment.
