Areas of Expertise

Research-backed power systems engineering combining simulation, optimisation, and automation to support VDE‑aligned grid modernisation and renewable integration across Germany’s electrical infrastructure. From static load-flow studies to dynamic and stability analysis, with a focus on compliance-by-design and scalable grid planning.

Grid Simulation (RMS/EMT)

Automating stability studies and Load Flow Analysis using PowerFactory and Python to support renewable integration decisions.

Optimization & AI

Deploying Fuzzy Logic and NSGA-II algorithms to solve multi-objective constraints for EV charging and §14a EnWG.

Digital Grid Operations

Translating complex engineering requirements into agile digital products and reliable validation workflows.

From Power Systems to Product and Back to Engineering

As an IEEE award-winning researcher in grid optimization (M.Sc. Engineering Management, 2026), I apply research-grade methods to industrial planning and achieved up to 15% EV infrastructure cost reduction in scenario-based studies while improving reliability across 500+ modeled scenarios.

Before returning to core engineering, I scaled digital systems with Elephant Healthcare and Ilara Health learning how technical solutions actually get adopted and sustained in the real world. Now focused on grid integration, renewable energy, and power systems simulation for Germany's energy transition.

Simulation Meets Reality

"The best engineering works in PowerFactory and in the field. My path from power systems simulation to commercial operations taught me to design solutions that are technically robust and commercially viable—whether modeling grid stability or commissioning renewable installations."

Solving the §14a EnWG Challenge with Math

IEEE Best Paper Award (2025): Robust EV Grid Integration
Featured Case

IEEE Best Paper Award (2025): Robust EV Grid Integration

Traditional grid planning fails under uncertainty. My research developed a Fuzzy Multi-Objective Optimization Framework that balances grid constraints with user equity, creating a robust solution for the deployment of EV infrastructure in Berlin.

Industry Engagement

CWIEME Future Engineers Ambassador — CWIEME Berlin

CWIEME Berlin is a leading exhibition for coil winding, electric motors, transformers, and electrical infrastructure technologies. As a Future Engineers Ambassador, I contribute to discussions connecting emerging engineering talent with industry challenges in grid modernisation, renewable integration, and power systems engineering. My participation focuses on bridging academic research with real‑world grid challenges, engaging with engineers and manufacturers across the energy value chain, and contributing to dialogue on grid modernisation and renewable integration. This role reflects my commitment to strengthening collaboration between research, industry, and next‑generation engineers.

Methodology

Core Beliefs

"Smart Laziness" & Systemic Efficiency

""True efficiency isn't about working harder—it's about understanding systems so deeply that you can identify the one change that eliminates ten problems.""

This principle, learned from debugging transformers in Kenya, now guides how I approach everything from code architecture to team dynamics.
