I am Assistant Professor at the Technology, Innovation and Society Group at Eindhoven University of Technology (starting in March 2022). In my research, I study processes of technological change in Africa and Asia from a systemic, transdisciplinary, and global perspective. My major areas of interest are electricity, housing, and – more recently – transport. I have a track record both as a historian of technology and as a consultant for projects on energy access in countries of the Global South.

With five years in the IT field, my career has been a journey of continuous learning and skill development, particularly in the realms of JavaScript, automation, and Google Apps Script. My expertise in JavaScript spans the entire duration of my IT career, underpinning my success in developing sophisticated automation and web tools. My foundation in IT is built upon a rich tapestry of projects that have honed my skills in Google Apps Script, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, NoSQL Databases, APIs, Google Cloud Services. Currently, I am expanding my proficiency into Python and its libraries, leveraging my background in Energy and Renewables to inform my work. Beyond technical skills, I have embraced leadership roles, managing teams to deliver projects and navigate challenges effectively. While my original academic background lies in Energy and Renewables, my passion has always been in harnessing technology to drive innovation. In an ideal world, my role would blend IT and the energy sector, applying data analysis and AI to solar and energy data. However, my current focus is on leveraging my extensive JavaScript expertise and interest in automation and Python to make significant impacts in any field, always ready for the next challenge.

With 15 years of experience in MEP and HVAC project management, I’ve built my career on making complex systems work—on time, on budget, and with clarity. My background spans large-scale building services across Europe and the Middle East, giving me a solid foundation in both technical execution and cross-cultural leadership. I’ve led projects through tight timelines, shifting requirements, and demanding environments. Whether managing multi-million-euro HVAC systems or coordinating across engineering, architecture, and site teams, I focus on keeping things moving—and making sure what gets built actually works. I completed an Executive MBA to strengthen how I think about business, not just engineering—how teams operate, how value is delivered, and how strategy connects to the ground-level work. I bring a mix of hands-on technical depth and business fluency that’s rare in our field. I take pride in being reliable, candid, and solutions-focused. I enjoy leading teams, solving problems, and making decisions that stick. I'm drawn to roles where trust, ownership, and delivery matter—especially in sectors like infrastructure, data centers, and high-performance environments.

I'm Victor Santos, an architect and sustainability professional dedicated to reshaping the way we work—starting with the spaces we inhabit every day. With over a decade of experience at the intersection of spatial design, ecological thinking, and organizational culture, I help people and teams create work environments that fuel flow, wellbeing, and purpose. With FlowSpace, I offer practical guidance to remote workers, freelancers, and digital creatives, individually or in teams, in designing intentional home workspaces that enhance focus, clarity, and life-work harmony. Through Oriworks, I consult and collaborate with future-forward companies to bring sustainability and systems thinking into the core of their operations and culture. My work lives where architecture meets transformation—where workplaces become living systems, and where design supports not just productivity, but aliveness. Let’s co-create the future of work—one space at a time.
