Staff Software Engineer
2014 - 2021NextEra Analytics- Developed a pricing engine to help a price renewable project bid in two hours that would otherwise take 4-6 weeks.
- Led R&D work to evaluate, build, and explore energy markets with products to help add value to the company.
- Built a simulation framework to help solve multi-dimensional optimization problems and stream data for real-time visualization.
- Integrated machine learning-based applications with various existing tools and deploy them in a serverless microservice architecture in AWS to minimize operational overhead.
- Used machine learning in Python and R to fit various models using time series turbine data to predict turbine failures.
- Led a team to architect and build a cloud-based highly available system to collect millions of data points from thousands of devices in real time and serve it for use in various downstream applications.
- Led big data projects to build analytics using several million devices sub-hourly and hourly data streams.
- Built IoT infrastructure to manage remote data aggregators and virtual power plants.
- Updated software engineering process management to build better and maintainable software.

Danish Shrestha
Senior Software Developer in Seattle, WA, United States
Member since September 19, 2015
Danish is a full-stack software engineer with over a decade of experience building scalable enterprise software systems. He developed a pricing engine to reduce a renewable project bid from weeks to just two hours and led a team of 20 engineers to deliver a project in three months that a 40-person team could not solve in the previous two years. He has extensive experience in a startup-like environment where requirements evolve constantly and have aggressive timelines.
