Nexalis is building the Overlay Internet for critical infrastructure. Our vision: machines cooperating as one across systems, organizations, and sectors. We unify industrial signals, shared operational context, and coordinated response. This creates a shared operational reality that enables system-of-systems coordination. https://www.nexalis.io/
As a Power Grid Modernization and Industrial IoT Director, I am responsible for leading the development and implementation of innovative solutions that modernize power grids and leverage industrial IoT technologies. My expertise in cloud technologies, computer science, distributed energy resource management systems (DERMS), and the integration of distributed energy resources (DER) into power grids has enabled me to design and execute projects that improve the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of the energy grid. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as IoT and cloud/edge computing, I was able to design and implement a comprehensive data collection and management system that enabled EDF R NA to optimize asset performance and proactively identify and address potential issues. I have a strong background in smart grids and a deep understanding of industry best practices and regulations. I am able to lead cross-functional teams and collaborate with stakeholders such as utilities, government agencies, and other partners to drive innovation and achieve project goals. I am passionate about the intersection of technology and energy and am constantly seeking new opportunities to apply my skills and knowledge to modernize the energy industry and improve the way we generate, distribute, and consume energy. With my ability to think strategically and execute effectively, I am a valuable asset to any organization in the energy sector.
