WORK HISTORY
Chief Technology Officer @Genoptic Led
Calgary, AB, CA
Leading multidisciplinary teams across BESS, Battery R&D, Semiconductors, and Grow Light; and developing intelligent products and solutions by incorporating Edge Computing, Cloud, and AI. I align our R&D roadmaps with the company’s strategic IP goals to protect and commercialize our portfolio of 150+ patents.1. BESS (Residential, Commercial & Tactical)- Architected modular energy storage platforms for Telecom (EaaS) and Tactical/Military (ruggedized, silent-operation) applications- Developed grid-interactive VPP (Virtual Power Plant) assets using OpenADR, 2030.5, and customized APIs for fleet management.2. Energy Storage (Battery Cell Development)- Lead a team of Physicists and Chemists in developing proprietary hybrid cells that combine high power density with extended operating life- Direct laboratory R&D and materials characterization for next-gen electrode and electrolyte systems.3. Chip Development (NanoGen IC)- Spearhead NanoGen power and energy IC development, miniaturizing power systems by integrating communication and power circuitry onto a single smart chip- Achieved >90% efficiency by eliminating traditional drivers and MOSFETs through chip-scale integration.4. GrowLight SmartLumen- Oversee AI-driven lighting solutions using chlorophyll bio-feedback sensors to autonomously optimize light recipes for Controlled-Environment Agriculture (CEA).Cross-Sector Integration & IP Strategy- Digital Ecosystem: Built a unified Edge-to-Cloud architecture with embedded AI for real-time dispatch and predictive maintenance across all divisions- IP Strategy: Directed the filing and maintenance of 150+ patents, aligning technical innovation with corporate licensing and valuation goals- Compliance: Ensure all systems meet global standards: UL 1741/9540, 1547, IEC 61850, and Electric Rule 21.

ABOUT DALJIT GHOTRA
Technology leader with a passion to build and lead product design and development to deliver next-generation solutions in the field of BESS, Battery cells, NanoGen ICs, and GrowLights - bridging the gap between fundamental physics, chip-scale integration, and grid-scale infrastructure. We develop energy-efficient products and solutions for VPP, telecom, digital smart displays, military tactical and vertical farming. With over 20 years of diverse experience, I have developed a passion to architect battery energy storage systems to build a high-value VPP asset. Experience in architecting embedded software platforms for device edge as well as cloud software platforms, along with user-interactive dashboards for commissioning, enrollment, system controls and monitoring. Proven ability to build VPP networks using customized fleet control APIs, OpenADR, 2030.5 protocols.Industrious, thrives on challenge, love developing innovative solutions, creating time-critical project plans and solve complex problems. Solid experience working with industry standards for grid interconnection and safety, such as UL 1741, 1547, IEC 61850, UL 9540, VDE 4105, AS IEC 60950, Electric Rule 21, Sunspec, CSA C22.2, CEC, NEC, etc. Published various technical papers on power system protection, and hold several patents in the grid-tie power generators and energy storage systems.
