PROFILE

Rajendra Adhikari

Worked on the NREL/OpenStudio-HPXML repository to enhance building energy modeling and simulation, focusing on schedule generation, EV charging logic, and occupant behavior tracking. Applied Python and Ruby to refactor core scheduling algorithms, improve data aggregation, and streamline code maintainability. Introduced stochastic EV energy datasets and unified charging/discharging logic to support richer scenario analysis and reduce energy cancellation risks. Strengthened CI/CD integration and code quality through RuboCop, automated testing, and improved documentation. Addressed bugs in schedule synchronization, occupancy aggregation, and timing, while adding advanced diff tooling and configuration management features to support reliable, extensible, and data-driven building performance simulations.
