Expert Perspective
Why does their job matter? Trimark team members explain.I develop control software that simplifies the operation of utility-scale solar power generation and energy storage. That’s key to making renewable energy stable, reliable, and viable – which is how we’ll save the world.
Brian Buhl
Principal Software EngineerResource owners want to reduce risk, avoid penalties, and maximize revenue. My role is to help customers gain peace of mind and operate confidently in accomplishing their mission.
Tom Short
Chief Operations Support OfficerWe help customers meet Utility and ISO control requirements. It’s exciting to bring equipment together to work as a cohesive, efficient system.
Yesenia Chavez
Control Engineer IThe systems we design are a small, but critical, part of power generation. We design the ‘brains’ that monitor and control each resource to be reliable and durable – in some very tough environments. I’m proud to do my part to leave a lasting benefit for society.
Vince Brashear
Director of Engineering and DesignI help users put Vantage to work for effective resource management. As a bridge between customers and our software team, I write documentation delivered on every system screen that explains Vantage functions such as controls and reporting. That answers most user’s questions right on the spot.
