Vision & Approach Why Embedded, IoT & CAD?

Embedded & IoT

The Necessary Evolution Towards Smart Grids

The electrical power engineering profession has changed. Legacy networks, designed for linear distribution, are showing their limits against current demands. Today, a high-performing network (Smart Grid) must be capable of self-diagnosis and real-time response. To ensure balance between supply and demand or integrate renewable energies, physical installation is no longer enough: it must be data-driven. This technical reality motivates my journey: I use electronics and software not out of passion for code, but because it's now the only way to build reliable and resilient electrical networks.

CAO/CAD

CAD by Engineers, for Engineers

In the development of design tools (CAD), there's often a gap between the engineer's needs and the developer's solution. Software can be well-coded but ignore critical normative or physical constraints. My approach aims to eliminate this gap. Being from the field myself, I design tools where domain logic precedes software logic. This allows creating sizing and simulation solutions that perfectly match field realities, without the approximations a generalist developer might overlook.
