Hi, I’m JuanHi, I’m Juan

I’m an engineer from Vigo, in the northwest of Spain. I work on software for energy systems — forecasting, optimisation, and control for batteries and wind farms.

I studied engineering physics in Oldenburg, Germany, and spent four years at ForWind building real-time control and data acquisition for wind-tunnel experiments. For my master’s thesis I moved to Colorado for a research year with NREL, working on probabilistic wind forecasting with transformers. After that I took a leap and co-founded Zentus, an energy-analytics startup, through Stanford’s sustainability accelerator — building everything from physics simulations to market-data pipelines.

Lately my work has been mostly battery storage — price forecasting, dispatch optimisation, degradation — plus blade condition monitoring for offshore wind. After twelve years in Germany, a year in the US, and an exchange year in Ningbo, China, I’m back home by the Atlantic.

Outside of work, I’m into astronomy.
