About Tom Russell

https://thomascarlyonrussell.dev/With a passion for creating innovative software solutions that streamline engineering tasks, I\'ve dedicated my career to driving the future of power grid technologies. As a Product Manager at Integral Analytics, I shape tools that empower engineers and analysts to evaluate the cost-effective integration of sustainable energy into the grid. My role focuses on merging advanced analytics with long-term forecasting to enhance utility decision-making.I began my career as a distribution engineer with a strong foundation in power systems. My self-taught expertise in computer science, combined with hands-on experience at a major utility, gives me a unique perspective on technology-driven solutions for the energy sector. At PG & E, I led efforts in integrated distribution planning, spearheading the development of tools and standards that set new baselines for hosting capacity analysis across California and the U.S.I strive to lead by example and learn as much about not just what to do but how to do it. I’m driven by a commitment to challenge the status quo, streamline workflows, and deliver products that move utilities forward, enhancing their processes and capabilities for a sustainable energy future.
