About

I'm passionate about leveraging technology to accelerate the transition to renewable energy. With a background in electrical engineering and business, I've dedicated my career to building solutions that make clean energy more accessible and efficient. My journey began at Tesla, where I led grid integration projects, before founding my first startup, EcoTech, which developed smart inverters for solar installations. After a successful acquisition by SolarCity, I served as CTO at CleanGrid, scaling their distributed energy platform across North America. Now, with GreenFlow Energy, we're building AI-powered grid optimization technology that helps utilities integrate renewable sources more efficiently while improving grid stability and reducing costs.
