William Duren

At the start of my career, I worked as an electrical engineer and supported the construction of facilities. These days, I am primarily building digital tools and data pipelines.

Since 2017, I have primarily worked in the energy access market. I started at TFE Consulting, which has now grown into two separate entities: TFE Energy and Village Data Analytics. I then moved to Ferntech GmbH, later acquired by Odyssey Energy Solutions, where my focus was on monitoring energy assets — mini-grids in emerging markets and off-grid systems in Europe. While I was at Odyssey, I transitioned from electrical engineering to software engineering.

Prior to 2017, I worked as a design engineer at Burns & McDonnell's Global Facilities division. Most of my time was spent in their Terminals and Pipelines group for oil and natural gas transportation and storage. My work ranged from early-stage bidding proposals and 95% detailed design packages to on-site work.
