As an Industrial Energy Engineer at EM3 LLC in Chicago, I lead a team dedicated to integrating sustainable energy practices in industrial manufacturing globally. My efforts focus on conducting comprehensive energy audits, developing innovative energy management strategies, and fostering significant advancements in energy efficiency and sustainability. My professional journey began with a strong academic foundation from the University of Dayton, specializing in mechanical design and energy systems, which culminated in a capstone project on efficient energy solutions.

During my tenure at Grumman/Butkus Associates, I significantly contributed to large infrastructure projects by directing the design and commissioning of energy-efficient HVAC systems. This role was pivotal in implementing ASHRAE Level 1, 2, and 3 Energy Audits across various facilities, leading to marked improvements in energy optimization.

My commitment to sustainability extends beyond professional settings, as evidenced by my published research on topics such as predictive maintenance using machine learning for HVAC systems, and strategies for integrating renewable energy with building management systems. These publications highlight innovative approaches and successful applications of energy-saving technologies, underscoring my dedication to pushing the boundaries of energy engineering.

Moreover, I actively engage in community service through ISKCON Chicago, where I volunteer in sustainability initiatives, underscoring my belief in integrating personal values with professional endeavors to promote sustainable living and social responsibility.

This comprehensive approach to energy management, combined with a commitment to community and professional excellence, forms the foundation of my nomination for the Titans Business Awards under the Sustainability Category: Energy Efficiency. My work not only demonstrates technical expertise but also a steadfast commitment to creating more sustainable and efficient systems, making significant contributions to the field of energy engineering.
