Power Systems &
Grid Integration Specialist

I bridge the gap between Grid Simulation (PowerFactory) and Real-World grid integration. Specializing in Voltage Stability, Renewable Integration, and Automation; to engineer the Target Grid 2045.

From Power Systems to Product—and Back to Engineering

Completing my M.Sc. in Engineering Management (Germany, mid-2026), I recently received the 🏆 IEEE ETECOM 2025 Best Paper Award for optimizing EV charging infrastructure by achieving 15% cost reduction while improving grid reliability across 500+ 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.

Discover My Story

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."

Featured Research

Solving the §14a EnWG Challenge with Math

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.

My Philosophy

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.
