Sean Connor is a software engineering lead with 11 years of experience building teams and production systems at the intersection of clean energy and trading. He has repeatedly taken platforms from concept to scale—leading early engineering at a high-growth clean-energy startup, building ML-driven algorithmic trading and asset-optimization platforms at Shell New Energies, and cofounding a two-sided community solar marketplace. Sean pairs hands-on backend expertise (large-scale data systems, automated trading, PostgreSQL/Elastic stacks) with product instincts from customer research through release, and has led cross-functional teams across startups and corporate R&D. His background in electrical engineering and energy & environment gives him unusual domain depth for software leaders, informing system design choices that balance operational constraints and market economics.
