A new era…

I’m excited to share that I’ve joined EnergyHub as a Staff Software Engineer! EnergyHub is in the clean tech space with the mission of creating a clean, distributed energy future. Today, that means they help utility companies implement virtual power plants (VPPs) using EnergyHub’s distributed energy resource management system (DERMS).

Smart Thermostat management programs are one example of what EnergyHub provides with their platform. In these programs, utility companies can use EnergyHub to reduce power use in people’s homes during times of peak energy use by sending signals that tell the thermostats to run less often by slightly increasing the temperature in the home. Beyond thermostats, EnergyHub also integrates with batteries, electric vehicles, and many other types of power consuming or producing devices in people’s homes and businesses.

I’ll be working on the team responsible for managing the many smart devices connected to EnergyHub’s platform.

It’ll be exciting and challenging for me to work in the energy industry. There’s a lot for me to learn here, since my background is from a completely different industry (the web). I’m really psyched to be joining a place that I believe will help curb climate change and build a better future!
