Energy Systems, BESS & AI-Driven Control Engineer

I build dispatch-ready EMS, SCADA-grade monitoring, and reliability-first control systems for real-world PV–BESS–Load–Grid operation — grounded in strong-current power engineering and electrical system design. My work spans forecasting → optimization → control, with industrial integration at the edge.

Electrical & Software Engineer focused on energy storage, dispatch-ready EMS control, and power engineering. I design systems that connect the field to decision-making: sensors → industrial comms → data → optimization → control, with SCADA-grade visibility, compliance, and operational safety in mind.

I develop schedule-based dispatch (typically 15-minute intervals) integrating PV uncertainty, battery constraints, and grid/plant priorities. My approach balances control quality with operational reality: clear safety limits, fault handling, and restart-safe services.

At the battery layer, I work with state estimation (SoC/SoH), thermal behavior, protection logic, and charge–discharge strategy design. I design monitoring and alarms that operators can trust — with clean UI/UX and meaningful thresholds.

For AI and analytics, I build time-series pipelines for forecasting and decision support, with validation and metrics first. I care about deployment: latency, maintainability, and observability — not just model accuracy.

On the integration side, I have hands-on experience with PLC workflows and industrial protocols (Modbus, OPC UA concepts, MQTT), plus backend APIs and databases that turn field data into actionable control.

In addition to software and control engineering, I have a strong foundation in strong-current power engineering and electrical system design. I have contributed to the planning and coordination of low- and medium-voltage systems that combine generation, storage, distribution, and industrial consumers.

My electrical scope includes system-level design thinking (load sizing, single-line concepts, protections/selectivity awareness, and safe integration of PV/BESS/grid), plus design documentation and cross-discipline coordination (electrical ↔ automation ↔ software).

I have experience aligned with Responsible Technical Leadership responsibilities: technical supervision of electrical works, compliance and safety mindset, documentation discipline, and supporting commissioning/hand-over for operational readiness.

I have participated in design reviews / plan juries where electrical, control, and safety requirements are evaluated together. This perspective helps me deliver solutions that are not only technically optimized, but also buildable, approvable, and operable.
