Deploy on your infrastructure. Keep your data and source code. You work directly with the engineer who built it — zero vendor lock-in across renewables, storage, and grid-edge operations.
Describe your challenge and our AI will design a custom architecture with technology stack, ROI estimate, and visual diagram.
Built by an Engineer
Vanya Smythe brings deep expertise from critical infrastructure projects across four continents. Every system we build is grounded in real-world engineering discipline.
Free Engineering Tools
Professional-grade tools used by engineers worldwide. Standards-compliant, PDF export, no signup required.
Start with our free engineering calculators. When you're ready for integrated operational systems — automated workflows, AI-powered decision support, predictive maintenance — that's what we build.
Industrial-grade AI systems built on nearly four decades of power systems engineering. Every solution I build is grounded in real-world constraints, designed to last, delivered and maintained by the engineer who built the platform.
About EthosPowerReference Projects
Before AI, we built power systems for the world's most demanding environments. This experience shapes everything we create.
Project Engineer — DC power systems for $14B two-train LNG facility and coal seam gas fields
Industrial-scale reliability standards inform every AI system I build.
Design Engineer — 300 DC power systems for Gladstone LNG
Designing hundreds of coordinated systems taught disciplined configuration management.
Lead Project Engineer — DC power systems in explosive (Zone 1/2) environments, Kipper Tuna Turrum development
Designing for hazardous areas demands the same rigour I apply to safety-critical AI deployments.
Design Engineer — DC power systems for pioneering coal seam gas to LNG conversion
First-of-kind projects require adaptive engineering — the same mindset behind AI innovation.
Lead Estimator — NiCd batteries and chargers for major refinery upgrade
Commercial estimation skills translate directly to scoping AI implementation projects.
Developed standby power system proposals for two major Middle East offshore oil and gas projects
Large-scale proposal engineering requires the same structured analysis I apply to AI solution design.
Sole global DC/AC UPS Systems Specialist — responsible for all standby power design across ABB's worldwide project wins
The discipline of a global engineering role — consistency, standards, training — shapes how I architect AI systems.
Won and retained period contracts — designed lithium iron phosphate battery systems and portable load-bank equipment
Sustained client relationships built on reliable delivery.
Project Manager — 4 × 110VDC @ 600A thyristor-controlled chargers with 1400Ah LiFePO4 batteries and diode coupling boxes
Hands-on project management of complex battery systems is the foundation of ebatt.ai.
Consultant — part of three-person team for UNEP-funded Stockholm Convention National Implementation Plan updates, covering POPs management and renewable energy programme reporting
International environmental consulting demands rigorous investigation and clear reporting.
Power Systems Engineer — ICAO safety-critical standby DC power for landing radar systems across Australian airports. Delivered technical training to 30 field service engineers.
Safety-critical systems demand the highest standards of reliability and documentation.
Established and developed new business unit. Coached four engineers in hybrid power systems design and build (batteries, chargers, inverters, PV, generators). Built IEEE 485 sizing and quotation tool.
Building a business unit from scratch — strategy, training, tools, processes — is the same discipline behind building AI platforms.
Sole developer — designed, built, and deployed a production Next.js 15 / React 19 / Cloudflare Workers platform with RAG knowledge base, AI solution designer, and engineering calculators
The platform you are looking at right now. Built by the same engineer who delivers the consulting.
Sole developer — IEEE 485 battery sizing and EN 50272-2 hydrogen venting calculations with automated compliance checking
Deep battery engineering knowledge encoded into production software.
Designed and delivered practical prompt engineering training programme for engineering and sales teams
Translating AI capability into practical skills for engineering teams.
25+ years of critical power infrastructure and renewable energy projects across 12 countries. These are real outcomes from real engagements.
Lead engineer on standby power systems for Origin Energy's $14B LNG facility — zero unplanned outages across critical DC and AC UPS infrastructure.
Consultant on UNEP-funded Stockholm Convention National Implementation Plan updates across Cook Islands and Kiribati, covering POPs management and renewable energy programme reporting.
Sole DC and AC UPS Systems Specialist globally for ABB, overseeing US$500M+ annually in critical standby power systems across all market segments.
No layers. No handoffs. Direct access to 25+ years of engineering experience.
On-prem, VPC, or air-gapped. Your compliance team signs off, not ours.
Full source access with support tiers available. Walk away any time — or stay because it works.
Production systems handling real workloads. See our tools above.
You work with the engineer who built it. Design to deployment to maintenance — one person, full accountability.
30-minute call. No slides. No sales pitch. Just a conversation about what you need.
