My work

Clean energy startup. Led R&D across lithium-sulfur hybrid flow batteries; now expanding into vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) systems.

• Spearhead end-to-end R&D lab operations — prototype build, electrical assembly, structured test execution, and real-time diagnostics.
• Fabricate and test battery system prototypes including peristaltic pump systems, custom PCBs, wiring harnesses, and IoT safety monitoring devices.
• Driving 0-to-1 development of VRFB systems — coordinating cross-disciplinary teams of mechanical and chemical engineers from concept to working prototype.
• Authored production SOPs covering hardware assembly (enclosures, manifolds, cell stacks) and electrolyte preparation — establishing repeatable, audit-ready processes for a first-of-kind system.
• Integrate sensors (current, voltage, temperature, GPS) with ESP32 and Particle Photon over BLE/Wi-Fi; develop firmware in C++ and Arduino IDE.
• Operate DAQ systems; write Python for automated data logging, anomaly detection, and charge/discharge cycle analysis.
• Manage all lab safety protocols for hazardous materials (argon, nitrogen, lithium, vanadium electrolyte) — glovebox (VAC) operations, LOTO, ESD compliance.
• Built public demo units including an Earth Day Conference exhibit with laser-cut acrylic fabrication and full system integration.

GridFlow's residential plug-in home energy product line. Edge 2000 launched Pi Day 2025 — featured in PV Magazine.

• Architect and develop a full-stack energy management system tracking solar, battery, and grid power with real-time monitoring, room-based outlet control, and overcurrent detection.
• Investigated and integrated the EcoFlow BKW API for output power control; built a Cloudflare-based backend (D1 SQL, R2 storage).
• Produce a technical LinkedIn video series communicating energy system design to professional and consumer audiences.

• Developed and maintained Well Watcher telemetry code for real-time monitoring of industrial well controllers.
• Built AI-driven anomaly detection and predictive maintenance systems; optimized energy consumption algorithms for field hardware.
• Implemented BLE features (Tx Power monitoring, battery life analysis); led software testing for new controller features.

• Participated in OS image development and troubleshooting for cloud and on-prem Windows/Linux environments in a defense contractor setting.
• Gained experience with scripting, TCP/IP networks, virtualization, and purpose-built OS configurations.
