Why hire me?

I have multiple years of experience working in system operations of an electricity transmission system operator (TSO) in Germany with a focus on ancillary services and associated markets. See “My experience” below for an overview on my accomplishments in that time. You will certainly find people with more experience than me, but not many that are so versatile and can take on a complex problem from various angles. I can also quickly develop prototypes or offer conceptual support to your developers.

My experience

  • Setting up and leading a balancing market surveillance team to comply with European regulations on market integrity and transparency (against market abuse)
    • Main developer of a custom automated reporting tool for market analysis
    • Conceptual development and implementation of KPIs for detecting fraudulent behaviour
    • Regular exchange with regulation authorities and other European surveillance teams
  • Established automated operational reporting for the European imbalance netting platform IGCC and the automated frequency restoration reserves (aFRR) platform PICASSO
  • Implemented the calculation and reporting of social welfare or rather economic surplus of PICASSO. You can read about it in this joint publication
  • Responsible for a cross-company team for data analysis and reporting in connection with ancillary services for the German power grid
