About EthosPower
Nearly four decades of power systems engineering across ABB, ExxonMobil, and major LNG projects. Now I apply that same discipline to AI solutions for the energy sector.
My Story
I didn't learn about energy from a textbook. I designed standby power for billion-dollar LNG projects. I was ABB's sole global UPS specialist, overseeing US$500M+ annually in critical power systems. I kept airport radar running when failure wasn't an option.
That experience shapes every AI solution I build. When I automate a workflow or deploy a custom agent, I think like an engineer: reliability, safety margins, graceful degradation, documented procedures.
EthosPower isn't a tech startup learning energy on the job. It's an engineering consultancy that happens to be very good at AI.
Reference Projects
From LNG megaprojects to Pacific Island grid stabilisation to AI-powered engineering tools — a selection of projects spanning nearly four decades.
Project Engineer — DC power systems for $14B two-train LNG facility and coal seam gas fields
Industrial-scale reliability standards inform every AI system I build.
Lead Project Engineer — DC power systems in explosive (Zone 1/2) environments, Kipper Tuna Turrum development
Designing for hazardous areas demands the same rigour I apply to safety-critical AI deployments.
Sole global DC/AC UPS Systems Specialist — responsible for all standby power design across ABB's worldwide project wins
The discipline of a global engineering role — consistency, standards, training — shapes how I architect AI systems.
Consultant — part of three-person team for UNEP-funded Stockholm Convention National Implementation Plan updates, covering POPs management and renewable energy programme reporting
International environmental consulting demands rigorous investigation and clear reporting.
Power Systems Engineer — ICAO safety-critical standby DC power for landing radar systems across Australian airports. Delivered technical training to 30 field service engineers.
Safety-critical systems demand the highest standards of reliability and documentation.
Established and developed new business unit. Coached four engineers in hybrid power systems design and build (batteries, chargers, inverters, PV, generators). Built IEEE 485 sizing and quotation tool.
Building a business unit from scratch — strategy, training, tools, processes — is the same discipline behind building AI platforms.
Sole developer — designed, built, and deployed a production Next.js 15 / React 19 / Cloudflare Workers platform with RAG knowledge base, AI solution designer, and engineering calculators
The platform you are looking at right now. Built by the same engineer who delivers the consulting.
Sole developer — IEEE 485 battery sizing and EN 50272-2 hydrogen venting calculations with automated compliance checking
Deep battery engineering knowledge encoded into production software.
Principles that guide how I work with clients and approach every engagement.
Aiming to be of genuine service to clients and their organizations, not just delivering outputs.
Direct communication, realistic project assessments, and transparent pricing. No hype, no inflated promises.
Delivering projects in ethical ways that strengthen local human capacity and leave lasting benefit.
Honouring the socioeconomic structures and cultural contexts of the countries where I operate.
Every AI system I build carries the discipline of power systems engineering — where reliability is non-negotiable, safety margins matter, and graceful degradation is designed in from day one.
Services designed to help energy organisations embrace AI and digital transformation — delivered by the engineer who built the platform.
Strategic guidance for AI adoption, from assessment through implementation and beyond.
