We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Tariq Mustafa a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Tariq, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today One of the most important things small businesses can do, in our view, is to serve underserved communities that are ignored by giant corporations who often are just creating mass-market, one-size-fits-all solutions. Talk to us about how you serve an underserved community.
The self-sustainability of our Multigreen Development communities will be engineered for the purpose of providing a low-poverty area energy independence. Affordable housing with a self-sufficient energy source can result in a significant increase in a families’ future lifetime earnings. Giving a new demographic culture, access to self-sustainability, low-poverty neighborhoods will have access to better jobs, good schools, grocery stores, and adequate health services, which equals “residential economic diversity.”
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
I. Tariq Mustafa, am a Renewable Energy Engineer that designs every project with all alternative energy technologies suitable for each projects’ location. My skill-set and experiences are unique with-in itself because of the many different energy concepts I use to create one overall design. My 33 years of training began with Drafting 1-2-3 and Mechanical Drawing which introduced him to Solar Technology. Having been exposed to the oldest renewable technology known, I made a wise decision to enhance my education by acquiring real world knowledge of the other base renewables such as Geothermal (Ground Loop & Binary Technology), Wind and Hydroelectric Technology. I became well rounded when I joined the New Jersey Economic Development Authority. There I successful graduated from the Entrepreneurial Training Institute obtaining the skills of Business Administration and MS Office Suite.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
The ability to work with engineers and with the blue-collar gave me the true insight on how each side usually has two different views of the exact same Project. Each side, from the conceptual to the practical, systematically approaches the same project from different perspectives.
The difference between the two, allows me to have an understanding of where to get ahead of problems before they arise on a project. Usually on a project the concept of a structure design may overlap into a necessary utility. The structure design will have to be altered to have both coexist within the same vicinity.
Learning both sides of Development gave me the reputation in my industry of designing an extremely efficient development from the utility to the structural and my self sustainability designs keep my designs futuristic and ahead of its time.
Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
A time when I had to pivot in this industry was when battery storage was introduced as a source of hold the energy that has been harnessed from the renewable energy sources.
This single technology changed the world of energy by forcing the design factor to minimize the system needed to make the energy. From size of the system to the area needed, to the way the budget is put together.
Restructuring everything from design to physical function made our entire industry pivot and reorganize how each design will benefit the projects’ objectives.
