Michael Soukup

Michael Soukup holds a M.S. degree in Engineering Cybernetics from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

His academic interests include computer science, mathematics, statistical modeling and algorithmic development, and has experience applying these sciences to solutions in a wide range of domains, including robotics, aerospace, energy, social economics and online advertising. Through his professional work he has built up a strong set of practical computer skills and gained a deep understanding of databases, servers and backend systems.

At Greenbird, Michael is working on Utilihive Data Lake – a cloud-agnostic solutionfor storing and analyzing smart-metering data. The platform offers advanced analytics capabilities for the energy domain and aims to help grid operators, energy companies and consumers undergo a digital transformation to gain more insight, better control and intelligent assistance for utilities. During this work, Michael has gotten familiar with a wide range of cloud services across different cloud providers, and is using Greenbird’s modern toolset to develop a secure, robust and scalable solution.

In his free time, Michael likes to be active and do both indoor and outdoor sports, such as gymnastics, squash, paragliding and skiing.

The founders of Greenbird have extensive experience of systems integration derived from large scale smart metering rollouts in the Nordic countries. What puzzled them was the enormous amount of time and resources going to waste when every utility had to start all the way from scratch when approaching systems integration. In an effort to fight these inefficient, costly, slow and risky processes, Greenbird and Utilihive were born in 2010. The founders realized that utilities would benefit from acquiring system integration as a service.

Today, utilities across Europe, Middle East and Asia are utilizing Utilihive to accelerate the ongoing energy revolution. Unlike a traditional approach for system integration for utilities, Greenbird offers out-of-the-box system integration for digital utilities. Forget about failing integration projects, hard-to-maintain solutions, and traditional middleware slowing down innovation. Decades of experience from a wide utility client base is built right into Utilihive. Greenbird is a true DevOps company, delivering unique time-to-market and reliability for digital utilities and ecosystem partners.
