Professional Summary

I’m Rudy Galan, a systems-oriented technologist transitioning from a decade in fitness, health coaching, and hospitality into sustainable infrastructure technology.
My background in optimizing human performance—designing precise nutrition plans, training programs, and operational systems for hundreds of clients—taught me how to integrate complex mechanical, biological, and behavioral components into efficient, resilient outcomes. My plan is to apply that same rigorous, integrative thinking to technical domains: data centers, energy systems, electric vehicles, and the software-mechanical interfaces that tie them together.
Currently self-studying electrical engineering, data centers, full-stack development with Python, and sustainable energy engineering– DCCA, Angela Yu Python, College. I’m building the technical depth to contribute meaningfully to teams solving real-world infrastructure challenges.
I thrive at the intersection of physical systems and software, translating constraints into elegant solutions. I’m actively seeking opportunities where I can bring disciplined execution, cross-domain perspective, and a long-term ownership mindset to sustainable tech initiatives.

Home Optimization System

Project (In Progress)–Concept Preview

What This Demonstrates:

Building an end-to-end home energy monitoring system using low-cost IoT hardware and open-source tooling to track real-time power usage, store time-series data, and visualize efficiency trends.
– Hardware-software integration
– Time-series data pipelines
– Energy efficiency analysis in real-world problems

Tech Stack

  • Home assistant
  • InfluxFB
  • Grafana
  • IoT Energy Sensors
  • Docker

Key Decisions

  • Chose open-source stack for transparency and extensibility
  • Prioritized data accuracy over UI complexity
  • Designed system to scale to solar/EV inputs later
Github

Why I’m Building this

Built to understand how energy actually flows through physical systems before attempting optimization.
Constraints: Built solo · <$50 budget · 2–4 weeks · No prior domain experience
