Senior🎓
Top SchoolRicardo Olsen is a seasoned software engineer with more than two decades designing, managing and developing SCADA/EMS systems for power transmission, currently working at CEEE-GT in southern Brazil and running his own company, DSC Systems. He specializes in high-performance HMI, information visualization and situation awareness, turning raw telemetry into operator-ready insights and standardizing substation control displays. An open-source advocate, he is the developer of JSON-SCADA and OSHMI (contributing notably to DNP3 and Modbus drivers) and runs cloud services like SCADAvis.io and XPlain SCADA@cloud. His work blends practical utility—historian systems, corporate SCADA integration and restoration automation—with research-backed practices from a master’s in electrical engineering and postgraduate studies in Big Data. Known for pragmatic engineering that reduces operator overload, he focuses on protocols (IEC60870, DNP3, IEC61850, ICCP) and cloud/IoT integration to modernize grid control.
