## About

```text
At Perific, I contributed to Shield’s real-time alerting and load-balancing improvements and built an AI-powered tariff parser covering 170 Swedish grid operators. I also drove an Energy Report product from concept to launch, using meter data to generate monthly consumption analysis, peak-load insights, and cost-saving recommendations.

At Volvo Cars, I led Smart Charging from a two-person proof of concept to production in the global app. I also built a multi-tenant OCPP charging backend and API services in C#/.NET on AWS, with certificate-based security and APIs for the consumer app, partners, customer service, and installer portals.

At Charge Amps, I led Green Charging from proof of concept to production and delivered training and product demos to European partners. Earlier, at Cabonline, I led implementation of a digital dispatch and booking platform, including digital payments and onboarding for 2,000 users.
