Battery Systems · Manufacturing Quality · Fleet Analytics

Your energy programme.
Delivered on time.
At Gigafactory quality.

Energy storage OEMs, battery manufacturers, and utilities hire me when a programme is complex, the stakes are high, and they need someone who has actually shipped at scale.

Currently advising on live storage programmes.

Services

Three ways I plug in.

The same problems I owned at Tesla—programme delivery, line quality, fleet health—applied to yours.

Programme Ownership

I take the storage programme end to end: concept, design, vendors, commissioning, and the messy part after it ships.

Deliverables

  • Site assessment and feasibility
  • System design and sizing
  • Vendor selection and procurement
  • Execution through commissioning

Manufacturing Quality

I find where the line is losing you money. 8D and DMAIC on real defect data, not a maturity-model workshop.

Deliverables

  • Production baseline and scrap audit
  • Quality metrics that survive contact with the floor
  • Root cause analysis on live defects
  • Process changes, sequenced by payback

Fleet Analytics

Your assets are already telling you what will fail. I build the pipeline that hears it before the field call.

Deliverables

  • Telemetry integration across the fleet
  • Health dashboards your team will actually open
  • Anomaly and early-failure detection
  • Maintenance scheduling that follows the data

Track Record

Delivered, on time, at scale.

How I Work

Clear engagement from day one.

1. Discovery Call (45 min)

We talk through your programme, constraints, and where it's at risk. I ask hard questions. You get clarity on whether this is a fit.

2. Proposal & Agreement

I send a scoped proposal with timeline, deliverables, and rate. No long contracts. You can pause or adjust scope anytime.

3. Execution & Sync (Weekly)

I take ownership of the work. Weekly check-ins, Slack and email access, visible progress. You're never waiting for status.

4. Delivery & Results (Impact)

Clear deliverables: report, system, strategy, or resolved issue. Not a deck—real outcomes you can act on.

Engagement Models

Pick what fits your needs & timeline.

Retainer

16–40 hours/month. Ongoing support, strategic advice, continuous improvement.

Project

Defined scope, fixed timeline. Manufacturing audit, fleet analysis, programme reset.

Advisory

Hourly or sprint-based. Specific problem, fast decision, expert input.

Contact

Let's talk.

You work with me, not an associate. I tell you early when a plan won't work—not after we're locked in.

Tell me what you're building and where it's stuck. I reply within 24 hours.
