"I have been a professional wind energy engineer for a decade now, and designed my first functional turbine in the science fair in high school. Ever since I was a kid, I was interested in infrastructure and engineering. As an engineer, I am very interested in renewable energy and being at the forefront of the future. As a hobby, I write content on this space and try to educate those who don't understand the field, or who have been misinformed about wind energy and wind farms."
