Philip Kao

Seb is a talented project engineer. With years of working in the large commercial and small utility solar plant projects in Todae Solar, Seb communicated his strategies and approach clearly to his internal team and external OEM. From my point of view as the application engineer in inverter manufacturer and supplier for 2x HV-connected solar farms that Seb was the lead engineer for, I witnessed him optimizing resources, organizing meetings, and bringing internal/external stakeholders together to get the job done. Seb is humble and opened to new products and solutions as the renewable energy industry evolve.

Seb is a talented engineer with an excellent aptitude for leaning quickly, and synthesizing complicated material to find solutions in a complex environment. Working with Seb was also a lot of fun. His positive energy, humor, and openness to new experience are the qualities of a great co-worker and friend. I highly recommend Seb for many roles, especially those where team environment and culture are valued.
