I am currently working with user experience on SaaS products, our own design system and breaking down silos in the organization. Products I'm working on now are: Auction BiddingAt Volue, we created Auction Bidding, a SaaS platform designed to simplify and automate participation in day-ahead energy trading markets like NordPool and EPEX. The previous solution was outdated, on-premises. It also lacked critical features, limiting our clients’ trading flexibility.With Auction Bidding, we’ve built a modern, scalable platform aligned with Volue's SaaS strategy. It supports various bid types, automates market portfolio management, and integrates seamlessly with production planning tools. This helps energy companies operate more efficiently while adapting to evolving market regulations, including the shift to 15-minute day-ahead intervals from 2025.Our focus on enhancing usability ensures traders can navigate the platform intuitively, minimizing errors in high-stakes trading. By automating complex processes and enabling precise bid submissions, Auction Bidding empowers our clients to unlock their trading potential and drive sustainable growth in an ever-changing energy market.NimbusI contribute to Nimbus, a cutting-edge software platform for optimising energy production across hydropower, wind, and solar. Nimbus processes real-time data, forecasts, and complex variables to generate precise production plans that maximise energy output and profitability while reducing operational risks. For example, Nimbus helped Arendals Fossekompani improve hydropower efficiency by 1%, adding 5 GWh of energy annually. Its ability to adapt to fluctuating energy markets and integrate renewables makes it a valuable tool for utilities across Europe. Working on Nimbus allows me to drive digital innovation, supporting a smarter, more sustainable energy future.
