Senior🎓
Top SchoolRian Finnegan is a Head of Engineering with 11 years of full-stack experience building production-grade software for energy and IoT domains, currently orchestrating distributed solar, battery and EV charging platforms at Australia’s largest generator. He blends electrical engineering training with hands-on software craft—having worked at Microsoft, led startups, and co-founded a recommendation platform—so he navigates both hardware constraints and cloud-scale architecture comfortably. Rian focuses on technical strategy, team building, and operational reliability, driving intelligent tooling that accelerates renewable deployments. Quirky interests in .NET, quantum ideas and ML hint at a pragmatic polyglot mindset that values experimentation alongside production rigor. Based in Fremantle, he pairs domain depth in energy systems with a habit of shipping usable, measurable outcomes.
