Ties Data Lab

Custom software for complex calculations, simulations and data-driven decisions.

An independent practice building bespoke models where standard tools fall short: simulation, optimization, and dashboards that turn many moving variables into clear, usable answers.

01 · Simulation

Scenario & what-if models

Custom models for systems with many interacting variables: production, prices, storage, demand.

02 · Optimization

Find the optimal setup

Algorithms that maximise margin, yield or revenue under real-world constraints.

03 · Dashboards

Data & automation

Multi-source integrations, live margin visibility and automated flows on top of your data.

01Selected cases
Energy Simulation · Optimization

Wind turbine + battery, trading against grid congestion.

A simulation model for a battery positioned between a wind turbine and the electricity grid. The battery acts as an active trader on the energy market, responding to grid congestion and fluctuating prices.

By combining production, storage, price dynamics and consumption, the model gave clear insight into financial viability and the optimal operating strategy for the system.

E-commerce Dashboard · Automation

Margin, inventory and customer flows on one surface.

A dashboard and automation layer for an online retailer, integrating sales, cost pricing and customer communication, with API integrations across multiple sources for real-time margin and performance visibility.

Automated email flows, triggered by order and inventory state, replaced fragmented manual processes with a single consolidated decision surface.

02About

Ties, architect of software where many variables meet.

I develop custom software for complex calculations, simulations and data-driven analysis. I combine technical depth with a business perspective, translating complex problems into practical, usable solutions.

I focus on projects where many variables interact and standard tools fall short: simulation models, optimization problems, and systems that consolidate data from multiple sources into a clear decision framework.

Clients work with me when they need not just insights, but software that actively supports better decision-making.

Tell me about your problem.

A few sentences on the variables in play and the decision you need to make is enough to start, I'll come back with a short scoping note.
