Trusted Budgeting and Forecasting Experts

Converting complex tech into clear ROI for my clients and my team. As a Sales Executive for an SAP Gold Partner, I architect the future state for enterprises using Signavio and LeanIX.

I dedicate myself to coaching the next generation of SDRs to become "unflinching" advisors, not just order takers. Tech enthusiast. Transformation expert. Sales mentor.

The sun ☀️ and wind 💨 are free and infinite resources, yet their inherent intermittency creates volatility that costs the sector billions annually, severely complicates market strategies, and poses a constant risk to the electrical grid that powers our world. At Steadysun, we have made resolving this paradox our core mission. We turn this chaotic uncertainty into a measurable, strategic, and competitive advantage. Our approach is built on a radical rejection of simplicity. While most forecasting solutions rely on a limited number of meteorological models, we view this as fundamentally insufficient—akin to piloting an aircraft while looking through only one window. We have engineered an AI brain 🧠, a proprietary and powerful intelligence designed to operate with a full 360-degree vision. This engine is continuously fed by an unparalleled diversity of data in the market. It aggressively aggregates and analyzes information from over twenty specialized meteorological models, ranging from global experts to hyper-local specialists, leveraging the strengths of each. Crucially, we augment this with real-time data from satellites 🛰️ tracking cloud formation, live readings from ground sensors providing on-the-spot conditions, and years of deep historical datasets that serve as our AI’s memory, allowing it to learn from and eliminate past errors. This massive data fusion is our signature: the multi-model approach. It enables us to detect weak signals that others miss, delivering power generation forecasts of exceptional reliability and predictive accuracy. For our clients, this advantage is profound and tangible. It grants power producers the ability to sell their energy at optimal prices 📈 and plan maintenance without sacrificing peak production. It equips traders with the confidence required to manage risk and capitalize on volatile market opportunities. And for grid operators, it provides the indispensable tool needed to anticipate every ramp event and guarantee security of supply for everyone. We are not just selling data. We are selling confidence—the confidence necessary to invest massively in and operate a sustainable, reliable, and profitable energy future. 🚀
