Python scripts, data platforms, and analytics for renewable-energy operations. Based in Erfurt with part-time commute to Kassel.
Profile
I work at the intersection of renewable energy, analytics engineering, and interactive dashboards. Day to day I use Python, R/Shiny, SQL, and modern data platforms — shipping tools people can click, not slide decks that go stale overnight.
Before Germany I built experience across engineering, R&D education programmes, university teaching, and educational technology in Lebanon and Saudi Arabia. I entered Germany on 31 August 2022 (EU Blue Card) and have worked as a Data Engineer since then — first at Entrenco GmbH (Regensburg), now at SMA Solar (Kassel).
I also run a public dashboard hub on this VPS — the same stack I use to ship energy analytics, live demos, and stakeholder-ready apps.

What I build
Energy & MaStR analytics
Nightly ETL from BNetzA Marktstammdatenregister → Parquet/DuckDB → Shiny views: solar build-out, storage, wind, regional Kreis dashboards.
Live & API-driven dashboards
Day-ahead EU electricity prices, live solar irradiance maps, auto-refreshing charts — real data, not screenshots.
Platform & delivery
Multi-app Shiny hub behind nginx, systemd, Grafana monitoring, documentation site, reproducible GitHub Actions pipelines.
Methods & verification
Reproducible ETL, documented schemas, and data-verification workflows so every dashboard number can be traced to a source row.

Contact
Open to collaborations on data products, energy analytics, Shiny delivery, and research tooling. Prefer email — phone signal at work is sometimes unreliable.
