Hi, I’m Alexander Sousa
I’m an economics graduate interested in energy markets and infrastructure. These are projects I have been building to explore energy data, market questions, and different ways of visualizing complicated information.
Most of them started with something I wanted to understand and could not find a good tool for.
Selected work
Projects exploring energy and economics through data visualization.
6.7% of America’s 624,190 highway bridges are rated Poor, and a machine-learning model estimates each one’s odds of getting worse within three years.
Miami-Dade votes R+11 overall: the places sending it people lean D+16, the places it sends people to lean R+8.

xAI’s Colossus 2 draws as much electricity as every home in Houston; the largest announced U.S. campus matches Illinois and Iowa combined.
Twenty-six annual snapshots of every EIA generator reproduce EIA’s own published capacity series to within 0.011%.
Half of mapped U.S. data centers fall within grid cells covering about 0.31% of U.S. land area.
Tracks U.S. advanced nuclear projects and where each one stands.

An interactive snapshot of CAISO real-time market prices across every reporting node.
Other projects
Smaller tools, built for the mountains, the water, and a language I was learning.
About
- Strategy5 Consulting
- I support economic consulting research, data analysis, and business development. I also built a Python tool that uses AI to help automate research and surface relevant public-sector opportunities.
- Regional Economic Models, Inc. (REMI)
- I worked on economic research and model QA across energy, transportation, and public policy engagements, with client exposure including the U.S. Department of Energy and ISO New England.
Economics and Romance Studies at Tufts University, with time at the University of Sevilla and Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona.
I use AI-assisted development to turn research questions into working tools, while defining the data sources, methodology, validation, and product decisions behind them.
I’m open to roles in energy market intelligence, utility and infrastructure strategy, and consulting.
