De-risking the Energy Transition

Bridging commercial vision with engineering reality for investors, fleets, and innovators.

About Me

I am the Director of Thoughtful Electron, an engineer who speaks "Boardroom" and a strategist who writes code.

With a PhD in Power Electronics and over 15 years in the energy transition, I specialise in bridging the gap between commercial vision and engineering reality. I have served as a CTO, an Associate Professor, and a Trustee, giving me a full-stack perspective on scaling GreenTech ventures from the algorithms up to the governance structure.

Strategic Authority

Former CTO and Associate Professor with over £2.5M in research funding. I bring rigorous, evidence-based leadership to commercial decisions.

Engineering Reality

I bridge the gap between investor slide decks and shipping code. My advice is grounded in physics, grid constraints, and production realities.

Simulation & Algorithms

Deep expertise in Python/Golang modelling for V2G and depot decarbonisation. I verify that the math works before you commit capital.

Governance & Stewardship

Experienced in ISO27001, board-level risk management, and ethical leadership. I build technical cultures that scale safely.

Our Methodology

A rigorous, evidence-led approach to solving technical & strategic problems.

Discover & Baseline

We start by auditing the hard data (whether that's grid connection profiles, codebase scalability, or team velocity) to establish a rigorous baseline and define the real constraints.

Diagnose the Blocker

We identify the root cause stopping progress. This enables us to distinguish between physical limits (e.g., hard DNO export/import caps) and structural issues (technical debt or governance gaps).

Design for Reality

We run simulations grounded in real hardware availability and limits. A mathematical optimum is pointless if you can't buy it so we optimize for commercially deliverable solutions.

Deliver the Roadmap

Clients receive a clear, evidence-based path to execution. We deliver technical architectures, investment cases, or hiring plans that are ready for immediate deployment.

Embed Capability

Our goal is to build capability, not dependency. We mentor internal leaders and implement governance frameworks (like ISO27001) to ensure your team maintains momentum.
