Flux Energy
An operating system for wind power — telemetry, maintenance, and money in one place.
OverviewOne platform for the whole wind farm
Flux Energy is an enterprise SaaS operating system for wind power operators managing more than $1B in assets. It brings the three worlds an operator lives in — machine health, field maintenance, and portfolio finance — into one coherent product.
Before Flux, that picture was scattered across SCADA exports, spreadsheet trackers, a legacy CMMS, and accounting software that never agreed with any of them.
The ProblemSix tools, zero shared truth
Wind operations teams burn hours stitching together turbine telemetry, technician schedules, and asset-level P&L. When a gearbox starts vibrating at 2 a.m., the alert, the work order, the parts inventory, and the revenue impact all live in different systems — and downtime is measured in thousands of dollars per hour.
The brief: design a system an operations director trusts at a glance, a field tech can drive from a truck, and a CFO can pull numbers from without asking anyone.
My RoleDesign and build, end to end
I owned the product end to end: research with operations teams, information architecture, the design system, and the full-stack build. Designing in the same codebase the product ships from kept the distance between a Figma idea and a deployed screen close to zero.
ProcessFrom control room to component library
Shadow the operators
Sat with ops directors and field techs to map a day of real decisions — what they check first, what they ignore, and where the spreadsheets hide.
Model the domain
Built a shared vocabulary — sites, turbines, alerts, work orders, contracts — so the data model and the navigation are the same mental map.
Design the system
A dense-but-calm UI language: dark control-room surfaces, tabular numerals, status color used only for status. Every component built for live data first, empty states second.
Ship and iterate
Weekly releases against real turbine feeds. The dashboard you see today is the boring survivor of a dozen louder drafts.
Key ScreensThe single pane of glass
OutcomeThe control room, consolidated
Flux now runs the daily operating rhythm for portfolios totaling over $1B in wind assets. Six disconnected tools became one product: the morning fleet check, the maintenance queue, and the monthly investor numbers all read from the same source of truth.
