H₂ Data
& Systems
Engineering

I build models, data pipelines and operational software for hydrogen systems and electric mobility, based on ten years of work with the hardware behind the data.

Let's discuss your project in a free 30-minute call, no obligation.

01

Engineering for systems, data and infrastructure.

H₂

Hydrogen station engineering

I help bring hydrogen stations through acceptance and into reliable operation.

  • FAT/SAT testing, control limits and automated test reporting
  • PLC programming, commissioning and fault analysis
  • Specifications, supplier coordination and design review
Case study: 70 MPa acceptance testing
H₂ + ELECTRIC

Operational data and software

I build software that connects station data with day-to-day operations.

  • Demand forecasts, dispatch planning and delivery reconciliation
  • Monitoring, fault analysis and condition-based maintenance models
  • Data pipelines and document processing for operational platforms
Case study: national H2 dispatch platform
H₂ + ELECTRIC

Fleet and infrastructure planning

I model routes, energy demand and infrastructure requirements.

  • Route and energy simulation for electric and hydrogen fleets
  • Feasibility studies, site selection and infrastructure requirements
  • Tender support and technical review
Live demo: truck route planner

I also support document processing, engineering reports and supplier coordination as part of these assignments.

Dispatch & logistics platform for a national hydrogen network

Weekly network planning dropped from a day of manual work to reviewing auto-generated drafts.

Demand forecasting, automated delivery planning and certificate reconciliation for 30+ hydrogen refueling stations.

Acceptance testing of 700 bar dispensers to EN 17127

Evaluation went from hours of manual chart work to minutes per test, in one defensible format.

FAT/SAT campaigns for 70 MPa hydrogen dispensers: 20+ signals per test, automated reporting, MC-formula pressure-corridor verification.

Route & energy simulation for electric truck fleets

Planners see in seconds whether a truck-route-temperature combination works, instead of trusting a brochure range.

A route-planning platform that simulates state of charge along real corridors, temperature, payload, elevation and charging stops included.

I like solving problems by connecting different fields.

I’m a freelance systems engineer and developer in Berlin (B.Sc., TU Delft), with ten years of experience in hydrogen systems.

I’m curious about how things work and why they sometimes don’t. I enjoy tracing a problem from the hardware into the data, then using physics, models and software to find a solution.

2016 — 2019

Co-founded Hydra Storage (Delft): metal-hydride hydrogen storage. Won the Port of Rotterdam Innovation Challenge and joined the EIT Climate-KIC programme.

2019 — 2026

Engineer at a national hydrogen refueling network operator (Berlin): operations analytics, acceptance testing, prescriptive maintenance, dispatch software.

What are you working on?

Let's schedule a quick call to see how I might help you solve real-world problems in hydrogen or electric mobility. I am comfortable in German, English and Dutch. Generally I'll reply within one business day.

Working together

  1. Discuss the problem

    We establish the system, the question and the intended outcome.

  2. Review the inputs

    We look at available data, documentation, access and constraints.

  3. Agree the scope

    We define the deliverable, responsibilities and schedule.

  4. Build and hand over

    I deliver the agreed work with the documentation needed to use it.
