Summary
Nilesh Darade is a VP of Engineering and IoT architect with over 17 years of software engineering experience and a decade focused on EV charging and connected-vehicle systems. He has led software teams at Voltera, Rivian, and Proterra, designing OCPP/ISO15118-based charger communications, smart-charging and V2G solutions, and end-to-end IoT platforms for heavy-duty chargers and vehicles. A full‑stack technologist fluent in Java, JavaScript, Spring, Node, Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS, he pairs hands-on development—building SPA frontends, mobile apps, and OCPP servers—with production-grade cloud and CI/CD practices. Known for bridging low-level communication protocols and large-scale cloud platforms, he also brings experience in voice biometrics, big-data pipelines, and embedded router firmware. Based in Pleasanton, CA, he combines product-driven leadership with the pragmatism of a builder who still codes in both backend services and mobile clients.
