Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Baker is an Energy Analyst and Advanced Energy Systems MS candidate at Colorado School of Mines, combining 11 years of software and engineering experience with a focus on power systems modeling, planning, and analysis. He brings full-stack engineering chops from roles at Workday and startups—experience that includes TypeScript/React component libraries, backend Java, and data tooling—applied to energy-sector problems via internships at Xcel Energy and Ulteig. At Xcel he automated operations analytics with MySQL and Databricks, and at Ulteig he performed physical substation design and outage sequencing, demonstrating both data-driven and hands-on grid expertise. Comfortable shipping production software and building analytical tools, he now aims to bridge enterprise-grade engineering practices with cutting-edge energy modeling. Based in Boulder and graduating December 2024, he’s particularly skilled at turning operational logs and complex dependencies into actionable metrics for planners and operators. Notably, his background in systems science and prior research experience gives him a networks-perspective on grid controllability that informs practical engineering solutions.
