Project history
Coordinated a small team of two engineers and participated in the development and extension of C++ components for a Battery Energy Storage System for a US-based client, with a focus on device communication and performance. Implemented SunSpec protocol support (Modbus-based) to enhance the system's communication with energy devices such as inverters and meters. Optimized existing code for efficiency and reliability, and served as the main point of contact with the client team, providing regular updates and delivering on schedule.
Developed EV charging station software system in C++17 on Linux for a Singapore-based client. Implemented OCPP 1.6 communication with the central management system and Modbus RTU integration over RS-485 with on-site hardware such as power modules and energy meters.
Worked on charging session control, device monitoring, and error handling, and collaborated remotely with the client team, providing regular updates throughout the project.
