About
I work where physical projects move from concept into execution: before capital is committed, when deployment assumptions need testing, and when projects underway begin to diverge from plan. My work is what engineering often does not answer: whether a technically sound concept can be sited, permitted, financed, built, operated, and made to work in its proposed environment. That judgment comes from infrastructure development, marine construction and operations, project finance, technology deployment and turnaround work, with extensive Caribbean experience. I have led a marine construction business, developed and financed inter-island transport, managed infrastructure and vessel operations, worked with emerging technologies, and spent ten years as a commercial maritime officer at sea. The recurring task is to understand the whole system, identify the constraints that govern the outcome, and determine a practical path forward, including when not to proceed. Often, the governing constraints are outside the technology itself: site conditions, logistics, local capability, permitting, contractors, counterparties, financing, and the operating environment.
