Skills Summary

I notice many companies in the renewable energy and compliance space lose countless hours manually processing data to meet strict VEU / Essential Services Commission guidelines. As a Software Engineer and Operations Manager who specializes in PHP/MySQL data pipelines and has deep expertise in the VEU program, I bridge that gap. I build custom database views and real-time reporting dashboards that eliminate manual tracking and keep your operations better. Let’s connect to streamline your data workflow.

I can bridge the gap between complex software engineering and high-stakes business operations.
With a solid background as a Software Engineer proficient in PHP, MySQL, and Oracle database management, combined with years of hands-on experience running operations in the Australian renewable energy sector, I designed system(s) that eliminate operational bottlenecks and secure your revenue.

My core niche is the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program and Essential Services Commission (ESC)
frameworks.

I understand the pain points Accredited Persons (APs), solar providers, and HVAC providers.

How I Can Help Your Business: Automate VEU Compliance Reporting: Build custom PHP/MySQL middleware to automate for reporting, clean up records, and ensure your processes are much better.

From daily, weekly or monthly reporting to sending SMS or reminders to customers, clients etc., I can get that all done by using your exisitng system via APIs or helping you create a new system which helps you save $$ instead of using the third party tools.

Advanced Operational Reporting: Transform raw transaction and field installation data into real-time dashboards using advanced reporting tools.

Database & Pipeline Optimization: Migrate, structure, or optimize your MySQL/Oracle backend to handle high-volume lead administration without lag or data loss.

If you are looking to scale your energy services, eliminate manual data entry, and protect your VEU rebate margins, let’s talk.
