Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAleksis Xenophon is a Staff Machine Learning Engineer based in Melbourne with eight years’ experience applying optimisation and ML to decarbonise power systems and commercialise distributed energy resources. He holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Hong Kong where his research designed and calibrated policies to cut power-sector emissions while minimising price impacts, and he has translated that domain expertise into production systems at Amber Electric. His background spans building market-grade optimisation engines and APIs—such as an interactive approximation of Australia’s NEM Dispatch Engine—and developing ETL pipelines to make electricity market data accessible. Comfortable at the intersection of research and product, he moves models from first principles to scalable cloud deployments and influences cross-functional teams on architecture and decision-making. An economist and engineer by training, he brings a rare combination of policy insight, quantitative rigour, and hands-on software craftsmanship to energy-tech problems.
