Energy Engineer | Expert in Energy Efficiency, Thermal Systems, and Carbon Footprinting | EU Sustainable Energy Projects

Profile Summary

Senior Energy Engineer with 33 years of experience helping companies, homeowners, and innovators improve energy performance and resilience. I deliver scoped, results-driven projects in renewable energy, heat-pump systems, thermal storage and practical home energy diagnostics. My background includes EU-funded energy projects, industrial energy efficiency, and hands-on innovation. I run on YouTube the Energy Home DIY channel, where I test and build real systems: heat pumps, thermal energy storage, supercapacitors, photovoltaic integration, and off-grid backup. This gives clients practical solutions based on experiments—not theory. Many of these affordable DIY projects are highly innovative and not available on the market. I guide citizens to realise them with easily available components. I work with CACTUS/Kolabtree under the new service model, supporting clients with clearly defined deliverables, including: - Home & SME energy diagnostics - Renewable integration (PV, battery, microinverters) into micro CHP - Heat pump design, optimisation, and retrofit analysis - Thermal and electrical storage feasibility - Technical content writing on sustainable energy, based on real-world demonstrations Available for scoped project work with milestones, fixed deliverables, and expert review. If your organisation needs senior, applied energy expertise and bringing this to the people, I can support you end-to-end: from scoping to system to final report. My approach combines scientific rigor, practical engineering, and a deep commitment to clarity and ethics in the energy transition.
