Engineering complex systems into clear, buildable outcomes.

I combine power-system analysis with digital tools, technical learning and evidence-led delivery—turning difficult study work into decisions teams can review, repeat and act on.

The portfolio now shows the work after the first showcase—not just the original snapshot.

The eight earlier case studies remain intact. Later products and research have been reviewed, de-identified and added where they form a distinct engineering story; major iterations are shown as evolution within the original case.

Evidence before spectacle.

Each case separates the project context, engineering problem, my contribution, method and verifiable outcome.

Proof points, with context.

Only figures supported by the underlying project records are used. Team outcomes are not presented as individual achievements.

Engineering depth, connected to delivery.

The common thread is not software for its own sake. It is making specialist work easier to verify, coordinate and carry through.

01

Power-system studies

Load flow, short circuit, protection coordination, arc flash and scenario analysis in SKM and ETAP.

02

Technical workflows

Traceable data extraction, model inputs, calculation references and review-ready analysis artifacts.

03

Digital delivery

Local-first tools, governed project systems, automation and interfaces designed around engineering work.

04

Knowledge systems

Curricula, playbooks and interactive teaching that connect principles to project-standard execution.

From analysis to an operating system for better engineering.

At Arup, my core practice is power-system engineering. Around that work, I have built a growing set of tools and teaching systems that make technical delivery more consistent—from reading drawings and governing study inputs to reviewing documents and issuing project communication.

Study practice

Short circuit, load flow, protection coordination and arc flash.

Repeatable delivery

Templates, extraction workflows, scenario views and QA/QC support.

Team-scale systems

Training paths, project hubs and governed digital products.

Portrait of Eric Rau

Technical rigor should make collaboration easier.

I am a Senior Power System Electrical Engineer based in Dallas, with professional licensure across 12 U.S. states, a PhD, master’s degrees in Electrical Engineering and Data Science, and PMP certification.

“Make the assumption visible. Make the method reviewable. Make the outcome useful.”
