Ryan Wartena
Growing Energy Labs, Inc., Los Angeles, CA,, CEO and CTO for a start-up company developing and designing materials, methods and solutions for energy systems.
iCeL Systems, Inc., Van Nuys, CA, CTO for a revolutionary integrated energy systems company. We develop intelligent energy architectures with energetic awareness and geometric insights. We integrate distributed energy systems across the planet for the home, business, automotive, industrial and utility with the global communications systems. We are building the "Internet of Energy", because it eaiser to send information about energy than sending energy.
