Experience
Working on bp's Houston Gas and Power trading floor within Supply Trading & Shipping — Analytics and Insights. Provides weather intelligence and decision support for North American gas and power trading, and supports other ST&S teams across North American and international markets.
Contributes to quantitative meteorology initiatives including weather and climate data pipelines, internal modeling tools, and integration of meteorological insights into trading and analytics workflows.
Supported a major aviation client delivering timely forecasts and operational weather briefings for flight planning and weather-sensitive decisions. Contributed to validation and evaluation of internal NWP and AI-based forecasting models, assessing model performance and forecast quality.
Worked within the NWP Research Division of the Atmospheric Science and Technology Directorate, developing and improving physics parameterizations in the GEM atmospheric model. Focused on planetary boundary layer (PBL) and sub-grid orographic drag parameterizations, and model performance for extreme weather events.
Developed and tested new Fortran code for the GEM model, leveraged one of Canada's most powerful supercomputing clusters, and built Python/Bash tooling to support simulation and post-processing workflows. Communicated findings through internal presentations and scientific publications.
Embedded within the operations center of a major U.S. airline, providing detailed weather forecasts for winter storms, thunderstorms, fog, turbulence, icing, and tropical cyclones. Delivered actionable intelligence to dispatch, flight operations, and management — including frequent briefings to the CEO during disruptive weather events.
Implemented and tested research innovations within the NWP Development section, ensuring all modifications met operational standards. Led the 2019 upgrade of the Regional Deterministic Prediction System (RDPS) to the GEM5 core — physics, testing, and verification. Contributed to the GEM5 physics package now deployed across most MSC operational NWP systems.
Highlights include teaching NWP to new meteorologist interns, and participating in the 2019 Hazardous Weather Testbed Spring Experiment at the NOAA Storm Prediction Center in Norman, OK.
Completed the Meteorological Service of Canada's Operational Meteorologist Development Program. Served as an aviation meteorologist responsible for operational forecasting across Western Canada, with a focus on Southern BC and Vancouver. Responsible for official TAFs for NAV CANADA, most notably Vancouver International Airport.
Worked on the trading floor providing weather forecasts to electricity and natural gas traders across PJM, MISO, ERCOT, and other North American energy markets. Developed a wind energy forecasting model for MISO and ERCOT using an in-house WRF configuration. Deeply involved in short-term congestion trading in the virtuals market.
