Power is now the most critical resources in data centers—and T-Mobile is leading the charge in innovative ways to optimize stranded capacity alongside power efficiency. ⚡💡 In today’s data center landscape, it’s not just about how much power you have—it’s about unlocking hidden capacity and making the most of every watt. With power demand growing 50% year-over-year with rise of NVIDIA gpus many facilities are hitting a wall due to scarcity. But T-Mobile is taking a visionary approach to meet this challenge head-on. They’re on a journey from fragmented power awareness (Level 2) to autonomous power orchestration (Level 5) in our energy intelligence framework, aiming to ensure that every bit of stranded capacity is fully utilized. Our framework highlights the stages of this journey: 1️⃣ Isolated Energy Monitoring 2️⃣ Fragmented Power Awareness 3️⃣ Centralized Energy Control 4️⃣ AI-Driven Energy Optimization 5️⃣ Autonomous Power Orchestration As the race to meet growing power needs intensifies, T-Mobile is showing that the answer isn’t just about adding more power—it’s about unlocking stranded capacity. By working together, we’re helping T-Mobile become a leader in data center energy management, minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency. Here’s how we broke it down this week during the OT Summit with the incredible teams from Kansas City and Seattle: 📸 First Had an exciting conversation during the QBR with the T-Mobile team discussing how their data center operations are evolving. Grateful for the feedback on ways to improve our products and operations as well as for the insights shared by McKinstry experts Aaron Frailing and Karen Peters and the critical facilities engineering team from Seattle. (we missed you Sean Seemann) 📸 Second Wrapped up the day by diving deeper into these topics with the T-Mobile operations team in Kansas City. Special thanks to John Coster Dustin Roe Doug Robinett Don Doyle, Marguerite Eaton, Doug Rabowski and my teammates, Jonathan Chu Prashanth Shetty and Drake Herrman for making the dinner both insightful and fun! T-Mobile is showing the industry how to go beyond just adding more power—it’s about optimizing stranded capacity. By working together, we’re driving a vision of data centers that are smarter, more efficient, and sustainable. With the industry at a tipping point, the collaboration between T-Mobile and Verdigris is setting new standards for efficiency and power management. If you’re facing similar challenges around power scarcity and stranded capacity, let’s start a conversation. Together, we can unlock hidden potential and drive the future of energy intelligence in data centers. #EnergyIntelligence #DataCenters #StrandedCapacity #PowerManagement #EnergyOptimization #TechInnovation #Sustainability #AI #Collaboration #Verdigris #Leadership

What happens when 300 professionals dive into a dynamic meditation together? An unforgettable experience at the 1st Nexus Labs Conference in Denver! 🧘♂️🚀 One moment, I’m learning about a novel approach where time-series anomalies feed into an LLM—to uncover hidden correlations. The next, I’m having a spirited debate about whether AI can truly grasp the nuances of critical building controls without the seasoned touch of human expertise. Connecting with so many amazing individuals new and familiar was a highlight: from inspiring leaders like Angela T. Tucci(your mission-driven leadership continues to inspire me) and entrepreneurs like McGee Young, Matthew Lynch working on minting EACs, to innovators such as Deepinder Singh (killer demo), Tom Arnold (impressive case study), Stephen Dawson-Haggerty (powerful tech), Nick Gayeski (formidable collaborator/competitor), Liam Bates (beautifully designed products), and Bill Maguire (truly inspired by our conversation). I also appreciated reconnecting with potential future partners like Kevin (Kai) Wong, Gerry Hamilton, Obhishek Bhattacharjee, MBA, P.Eng, LEED GA as well as valued customer and partners like Kathy Farrington, Richard Reid, Sabine Lam, Bobby Coucoules, Kira Dickson, the innovative google team, and Alex E. Perlman at Prologis, A big thank you to the Nexus team—James Dice and Rosy Khalife Tyan —for fostering such a vibrant community. It was great reconnecting with Justin Loidolt (my booth buddy and teammate), Charles Blaschke IV (so great to finally see you in person), Aaron Brondum, Zach Tomlin, and Matt W.. (And many more—tagged in the photos!📸) The conference reinforced a powerful realization: we’re not just competitors; we’re collaborators aiming to transform an industry and combat climate change together. Innovation thrives when we blend cutting-edge technology with the invaluable wisdom of human experience. How do you see AI and human expertise coexisting in our industry? I’m excited by some of the ideas discussed and eager to explore new partnerships. The built environment’s market size and complexity is a challenge but also an opportunity for greater innovation and collaboration! #NexusLabsConference #AIInnovation #Sustainability #Collaboration #BuildingTheFuture #ClimateChangeAction

This is why you randomly accept happy hour invitations... 3 weeks ago, I randomly accepted an invitation from Stifel Bank. That night, I met the incredible Victoria Slivkoff. Fast forward to today—Thomas Chung, Jonathan Chu and I just wrapped filming for a groundbreaking, first-of-its-kind English-language, Taiwan-sponsored show spotlighting Taiwanese heritage founders innovating in Silicon Valley and beyond! Huge shoutout 🎉 to John Coster at T-Mobile for making the trip down for the filming, and to Rachel Slaybaugh at DCVC and Andrew Higgins at StartX. It was an absolute pleasure working with the amazing production crew—Jenny Luo (“J-Lo”) and director Iris —at the phenomenal Playground Global offices in the old Stanford Fry's Electronics And a massive thank you to our head of Marketing, Leigh Winter Martin, who tirelessly orchestrated everything on our end! 🤗 #TaiwanPlus, #TaiwaneseHeritage, #SiliconValley, #AIInnovation, #BehindTheScenes, #Serendipity, #StartupLife,

AI and climate change are on a collision course—and data centers are at the heart of it. Stepping into DataBank’s Kansas City facility felt like a glimpse into the future of AI and sustainability. The scale of the challenge—and opportunity—was striking. Thanks to our investors at Solea Energy and our customers, partners, and team for an incredible trip. Each conversation sharpened our focus on how data centers are driving AI breakthroughs while tackling climate and energy challenges. We’re more determined than ever to deliver electrical intelligence that solves both. More road trips ahead as we learn, adapt, and push the boundaries of what’s possible. How is your organization tackling the growing energy demands of AI? #TeamBuilding #Verdigris #DataCenterInnovation #SustainabilityLeadership #GenerativeAI #EnergyInnovation #ClimateMission #OnTheRoad
