I have a unique combination of hands-on energy infrastructure engineering combined with enterprise digital transformation experience — both earned inside a regulated U.S. utility for natural gas and electric generation and distribution. Over my five years at NiSource, I have moved between two worlds. As a Field Engineer, I designed and delivered natural gas infrastructure projects for the replacement of mains, services, and M&R stations — managing permitting and execution across ~$105M in project scope. As an SAP S/4HANA SME during a multi-year enterprise transformation, I led functional testing, coordinated offshore development, and trained 80+ employees across engineering, construction, operations, and finance departments on an SAP system replacing a decades old DOS-based IBM work management mainframe system. The go-live success was quantified by several factors: despite launching mid-year during peak construction season, with millions of dollars in project scope requiring full rework in the new system, the organization hit its regulated capital spend target within 2% variance and met its annual pipe installation footage goal. My personal impact was recognized when a post-go-live SAP purchasing defect began locking 50–70 work orders across the state — preventing procurement and blocking field construction — I diagnosed and resolved the issue independently, outside my official role, after the dedicated support team had been unable to identify the cause. I documented the fix and trained the support team on the resolution. That combination — field credibility, systems fluency, and the instinct to solve problems that fall between organizational lines — is what I bring to energy transition and digital transformation work in Paris.

- Core engineering responsibilities described in Field Engineer 1 role (see below) - Cross-Departmental SAP/WAM Trainer across NiSource, INC. footprint as part of Transformation at NiSource - Business Validator (Functional / Data) on Construction Workstream within WAM program - Hypercare Specialist for Construction / Engineering - SAP Process Development Lead for Engineering - SME for SAP system at NiSource, Inc.
- Designed and estimated natural gas infrastructure projects for mains, services, and Measurement & Regulation stations — delivering construction-ready packages compliant with federal and state regulatory codes. - Managed capital budgets totaling ~$60M within the annual Capital Execution Plan; maintained alignment between forecast and actual spend with variance analysis. - Managed permitting and regulatory deliverables for ~$105M in project scope across federal, state, and local authorities. - Led field resolution of complex construction conflicts — including projects requiring full lay path redesign multiple times per block due to unknown buried utilities and abandoned infrastructure — maintaining project continuity under unplanned constraints. - Delivered a time-critical MP-to-LP regulator station replacement within a two-month PennDOT construction window: sourced replacement bypass valve and long-lead 16" pipe tie-in materials within 24–48 hours to avoid state authority shutdown, requiring rapid specification research, supplier coordination, and cross-functional stakeholder management. - Provided on-call technical support to Construction and Operations during active work execution and emergency response.
- Supported the 10-year Natural Gas Pipeline Replacement Program from preliminary scope through project release. - Built foundational expertise in regulated utility engineering, pipeline compliance, and capital project execution.
This role was concurrent with my Field Engineering role as I temporarily transitioned to the Work & Asset Management Transformation program at NiSource. My role with the program ended with a successful roll-out - despite a mid-year go-live during peak construction season, the organization hit its regulated annual capital spend target (within 2% variance) and met pipe installation footage goals — with millions in project scope requiring full rework in the new system by trained users. Served as Engineering SME on full SAP S/4HANA and Salesforce Field Service implementation replacing legacy IBM mainframe infrastructure across a 6-state regulated utility footprint. Led User Acceptance Testing (UAT) across engineering and asset management workflows; identified defects, defined resolution requirements with offshore development teams, and validated fixes through iterative test cycles. Designed and delivered cross-functional training for 80+ employees across 6 departments including Engineering, Construction, Operations, and Finance. Provided post-go-live hypercare support; triaged functional defects in SAP and Salesforce and maintained operational continuity during transition. Independently diagnosed a critical post-go-live SAP purchasing defect — a procurement flag failure blocking work order progression and material ordering for 50–70 active construction orders — after the dedicated support team was unable to identify the root cause. Resolved the issue, created a repeatable fix job aid, and trained support staff on the resolution. Only person at the organization to solve this error.
