William Duren — software engineer & builder
A small, durable home for long-form notes on mini-grid monitoring, side projects, and the engineering behind both.
I've spent years as a technical lead building systems that monitor mini-grids in energy access contexts. A lot of what I've learned is practical, hard to find written down, and easy to lose. This site is where I write it down — alongside the side projects I build to stay curious.
Start with Energy Access for the field-tested writing, or Projects for the more personal experiments.
