As a software engineer at KrakenFlex, I leverage my web development expertise and journalism background to create solutions that enhance customer experience, optimize energy management, and support demand response programs. I have over 5 years of experience in building high-quality, scalable, and performant web applications using React, Next.js, Node.js, Express.js, Django, and Docker, with a strong focus on human-centered design principles.I am passionate about innovating and developing team culture, working practices, and methodologies, as well as advocating for mental health and LGBTQ+ rights. I recently added support for VirtualPeaker-managed domestic thermostat devices for Kraken customers, enabling their addition into smart device energy tariffs. I also innovated and developed team culture, working practices, peer review and pairing methodologies for a new US markets team, focusing on bringing demand response, virtual power plant, commercial battery aggregation and similar features for US electricity markets.
