Hi, I'm
Venki Ramachandran
Since Jun-2024, I work as an Industry consultant within the DERMS (Renewables) domain for Capgemini. I help utilities design their DER roadmap, document use cases, help them pick vendors and finally work with our Delivery teams to help deliver projects.
I am a qualified Data Scientist – expert at everything related to data – its data gathering, loading, design of database systems, storage, governance, security and addressing privacy issues. I am an AI thought leader, investor in product engineering companies and sustainable clean-energy start-ups. Over the years, I have led multiple software development teams, defined integrations across many public sector utilities and worked with the leading Systems Integration companies like Capgemini, Accenture, defined product vision and managed its development to meet the needs of our utility customers. Raised in Bombay, India, I moved to the USA for my M.Sc. in Industrial Engg after my B.E in Mech Engg. Since then I have worked for many large Fortune 500 companies in the Bay Area and India.
On the technical side of things, I am passionate about building enterprise AWS applications using the latest AI technologies, and python based tech-stack, for the clean energy domain that can make utilities and ultimately people’s lives simpler.
