Building the integration layer for DER, EMS, BESS, EV charging, and VPP infrastructure

Taipei–Keelung Metropolitan area

About

The energy market is moving from standalone solar and storage projects to multi-asset distributed energy infrastructure: solar, BESS, EV charging, load control, and VPP participation. The hard part is no longer just deploying hardware. The hard part is making fragmented assets integrate, operate, dispatch, and create long-term value after commissioning. My work focuses on energy management systems, DER integration, BESS and EV charging infrastructure, partner ecosystem development, and go-to-market strategy for energy infrastructure solutions. I have led product, strategy, channel, and operational initiatives across energy hardware, software integration, and commercial execution. I am interested in connecting with EPCs, system integrators, asset owners, BESS partners, EV charging companies, VPP providers, and energy infrastructure investors.
