Potomacutonomy

About

Adam Carranza, Principal

Potomac Autonomy is built around a specific combination that's hard to find split across two people, let alone one: hands-on EHS compliance systems administration (Cority, Intelex, Enablon, SharePoint document control) paired with production-grade software and data engineering.

Six years administering environmental, health, and safety management systems, data, and reporting for Fortune-500 clients across construction, utility, and renewable energy operations, including sole ownership of an enterprise EHS platform serving 1,200+ field and office personnel across 38 active sites. Built and maintained 18+ Power BI dashboards on multi-source datasets, automated Power Platform workflows that replaced manual reporting, and delivered Python and ETL tooling for federal regulatory submissions.

Every engagement is scoped and delivered directly: no layered management, no bench markup, no hand-off between the person who understood the requirements and the person who built the solution.
