About Gregg Lind

I build products and platforms that accelerate the clean energy transition—from virtual power plants managing gigawatts of distributed energy resources to experimentation systems that shaped Firefox\'s product strategy.What I DoI combine deep energy domain expertise with technical leadership to solve complex problems at the intersection of software, algorithms, and climate impact. Whether architecting bid automation systems that reduced operational costs 40%, scaling residential HVAC programs 10x, or building home electrification platforms from scratch, I thrive at turning ambiguous challenges into working products that generate real business value.My Energy & Climate ExpertiseVirtual power plants • Distributed energy resources (DERs) • Energy markets (ERCOT, NYISO) • Demand response optimization • Home electrification • Smart thermostats & batteries • Building energy systems • Grid optimization algorithms • Tariff analysisHow I WorkAt Voltus, I led algorithm development that enabled $2M+ in market expansion while building the team culture that reduced incidents 12x and improved customer response time from weeks to days. At Mozilla, I scaled Firefox\'s experimentation platform from prototype to 100+ experiments annually, insights that drove 3 new product launches.What I\'m Looking ForOpportunities where energy domain expertise + technical leadership = climate impact:Staff/Principal Engineer roles building energy optimization algorithmsTechnical Product Manager positions at climate tech companiesTeams tackling hard problems in grid flexibility, home electrification, or distributed energyWhy Climate Tech?After 8 years at Mozilla building experimentation platforms, I pivoted fully to climate in 2020. The energy transition is the defining challenge of our generation, and software is critical to making it happen. I want to spend my career building systems that help the grid integrate renewables, homes electrify affordably, and our energy system decarbonize.Let\'s ConnectInterested in energy systems, virtual power plants, or building products for climate impact? Let\'s talk. Always happy to chat with folks working on the energy transition. Minneapolis, MN | Open to remote g••••••••@gmail.com
