Hi, I’m Josh.
I’m an electrical engineering student with a strong interest in power systems, renewable energy, and the long-term challenge of modernising our electricity grid.
Power is one of those systems most people rarely think about, but it underpins almost everything we do. Behind the scenes it’s a complex web of infrastructure, planning, and engineering decisions that keep businesses running, homes lit, and communities connected. The scale of that challenge — especially as we integrate renewables and rethink how the grid operates — is what drew me into the field.
My path into engineering wasn’t exactly linear.
I started in building design, then spent close to a decade working in marketing and professional copywriting before deciding I wanted to work closer to the kinds of problems that shape real-world systems and infrastructure.
So I went back to university and dove head-first into electrical engineering.
One thing I’ve noticed while moving between these two worlds is how often important technical ideas struggle to leave the project team. Engineers are trained to think deeply about systems and constraints, but communicating that thinking clearly to clients, industry peers, or the broader public requires a completely different skill set.
Because I’ve spent time on both sides — professional communication and engineering — I’ve become particularly interested in that intersection. How complex technical work gets explained. How engineering insight becomes visible outside the project team. And how clear communication can shape industry conversations.
That interest is what eventually led me to start helping engineering teams translate technical expertise into clear, credible writing.
Alongside my studies, I serve as Industry Manager of the Electrical Engineering Student Society (EESS), where I help organise industry events, connect students with engineers working in the field, and contribute to hands-on projects.
When I graduate, my goal is to work within Queensland’s energy sector, gaining experience across transmission, distribution, and renewable integration.
This site is partly a place to document that journey…the projects, the learning, and the process of moving deeper into the world of energy systems and infrastructure.
Thanks for stopping by.
