• 🔭 Energy Visibility — real-time monitoring of every watt generated and consumed
• 🔄 DER Coordination — managing distributed solar, batteries, and flexible loads intelligently
• 📡 Connected Infrastructure — IoT systems that link hardware to cloud platforms
• 🧠 AI-Powered Insights — predictive analytics for demand, maintenance, and optimization

Open to collaboration on:

• 🔋 Energy management, DERMS & Virtual Power Plant systems
• 🌐 IoT smart infrastructure and sensor networks
• ☁️ Cloud monitoring, telemetry, and data platforms
• 🤖 AI-assisted engineering and autonomous energy systems
• 🧑‍🏫 Open-source energy tools and community building
• 🌍 Africa-focused digital energy infrastructure projects
