The Challenge

Paragon Energy needed a large-scale industry-wide asset management platform to manage 200,000+ smart meters across the UK energy sector. Existing manual workflows were taking up to 96 hours per operational cycle.

Optimized PostgreSQL queries and reporting pipelines for finance, inventory and asset-lifecycle workflows. Led a frontend engineering team of 3. Designed workflow automation that dramatically reduced manual processing time. Integrated ELK stack for operational monitoring and Elasticsearch for fast asset search and filtering at scale.

The Outcome

Reduced operational turnaround time from 96 hours to 2 hours — a measurable, quantified business impact. Platform successfully deployed across the UK energy sector, managing 200,000+ smart meters in production.
