Bergenfield, New Jersey
I am a senior lighting designer specializing in AGi32-based lighting design, photometric calculations, daylighting analysis, and PAR lighting studies for industrial, infrastructure, commercial, architectural, and specialty lighting applications. Over the past 9+ years, I have delivered production-ready lighting models for real-world installations—many of which are now operating 24/7 in mining sites, processing plants, ports, yards, car parks, streets, and buildings across Australia, North America, and international markets. My work goes beyond “running calculations.” I routinely: • Build accurate AGi32 models from minimal or imperfect information • Interpret and apply IES, AS/NZS, and project-specific standards • Optimize luminaire placement, mounting geometry, spacing, and optics • Deliver clear, defensible reports suitable for engineers, authorities, and clients I have worked long-term with LED manufacturers, consultants, and engineering teams, supporting everything from concept studies to compliance submissions and value-engineered revisions. If you need someone who understands how lighting performs in the field—not just on screen, I bring that experience to every project. Message with your DWG/PDF + code reqs for free scope review.
