Group-level platform to detect, categorize and track outages and compute availability across ENGIE's international BESS portfolio. - Lead technical and functional scoping with regional performance and data engineering teams (Europe, North America), mapping data pipelines from SCADA, historians, cloud data lake and OEM APIs - Design outage detection and categorization rules, and define availability calculations (raw and technical) - Build POCs to validate feasibility: alarm data exploration, historian querying, API integration (OAuth/OpenID Connect) - Own the product backlog, functional specifications and technical documentation - Align technical and business teams around a single availability reference

Industrial tool for modeling grid connection solutions in PowerFactory, used for network decision support. - Contributed to the development of ERABLE, combining power systems engineering and software development - Led the technical delivery of functional work packages - Defined and formalized technical requirements, specifications and use cases with business teams - Modeled networks and electrical components (generation, substations, transformers, lines) and validated engineering assumptions - Ran and reviewed network studies: load flow, short circuit, constraints, connection capacity - Performed techno-economic analyses comparing connection solutions and scenarios - Worked closely with the Product Owner and Business Owner on progress, feature prioritization and needs-solution alignment

As a Smart Grid Consultant at Yélé Consulting, I am currently involved in a feasibility study for rural electrification in Nigeria. This includes the optimal sizing of a hybrid energy system (PV, diesel generator, BESS) and the design of an Energy Management System (EMS) to ensure efficiency and reliability. The study also integrates climate risk and gender dimensions for long-term resilience. I also contribute to opportunity studies for BESS deployment in Togo and Benin. In Togo, we assess how BESS can support the national grid through optimized sizing and integration strategies. In Benin, I work on a national-scale study involving the regulatory and institutional frameworks needed for successful BESS integration. In parallel, I developed an internal optimization tool to maximize the value of BESS on energy markets and RTE system services, using smart dispatch strategies to enhance revenues and reduce system costs.

I developed a decision support tool to identify optimal charging stations while considering the constraints of the distribution network and the availability of renewable energy sources. Additionally, I designed incentives and introduced new services to enhance the optimal use of charging infrastructure.

I supervised and managed the maintenance and repair of the LV distribution network, coordinated preventive maintenance strategies to reduce technical losses, and validated improvements in response time to customer-related operational and emergency requests.

I provided electrical design services for a commercial building, including earthing, lightning protection, lighting, panel boards, general and special sockets, and low-current designs using AutoCAD, DIALux, and EcoDial software. Additionally, I analyzed voltage drop and current constraints using ETAP to ensure compliance with design and performance requirements.

As a Site Engineer, I supervised and followed up on all electrical works, ensured the correct implementation of plans, and managed teams effectively. I coordinated the issuance of shop drawings and design modifications while overseeing the procurement of necessary materials. Additionally, I supervised the assembly of distribution panels to ensure compliance with project specifications and quality standards.
