At The Mobility House Energy, our mission is to enable a zero-emission future by connecting the worlds of mobility and energy. By intelligently integrating electric vehicle batteries into the power grid, we unlock flexibility that supports renewable energy expansion, enhances grid stability, and makes electric mobility more accessible and affordable.

In this talk, we share how Python became a key enabler on our journey to delivering Vehicle-to-Grid solutions at scale. From early simulations and prototyping to operating production-grade energy systems, Python supports us across the entire development lifecycle. It allows us to rapidly validate ideas, process and analyze complex energy and mobility data, and deploy robust services that are battle-tested in the real-world and on energy markets.

We will also explore how adopting Python in production reshaped our collaboration model. Data scientists and software engineers now work closer together, sharing tools, codebases, and responsibilities. At the same time, we will openly discuss the technical and organizational challenges we encountered—from performance bottlenecks to system integration—and the practical solutions that helped us overcome them.

After finishing my PhD in high energy physics, I worked as software developer and as solution architect on projects in various industries. In the end I ended up at The Mobility House Energy, because I want to work towards a zero-zero future. Nowadays I am working as the Head of Tech VGI.
