Bertram is a tree-hugging, dog-petting, book-devouring, lead-by-example optimist, in love with renewable energy and cycling. He holds a bachelor’s in sustainability engineering from Tec de Monterrey and an energy administration degree from EGADE Business School. He’s also the youngest NABCEP Certified PV Installation Professional in Mexico. After working for several years as a PV designer, he signed up to help the grid-restoration efforts following Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. Those experiences reinforced his belief that renewables are the path forward, which is why he’s currently studying his master’s degree at TU Delft in the Netherlands, where he’s researching how solar + storage can improve a grid’s resiliency and reliability. When not hiking or training for his next triathlon, Bertram can usually be found at his natural habitat; a pet-friendly café with a view.
