The way industrial data should be
We built CVector to help create an affordable, resilient, and safe global infrastructure that runs nearly autonomously.
You should be able to make truly informed decisions, faster
Industrial companies waste millions just to get bad data. We built CVector so operators and decision-makers can finally get the insights they need — faster, cleaner, and in real time.
A few of our guiding principles:
Live, lossless, and actionable data
Molecules and electrons move fast. Your data should, too. We prioritize real-time delivery so you know what’s happening in the moment.
No information lock-ins
Your asset data should be yours, not trapped in a black box legacy system or buried behind consulting fees.
Built for operators, not just analysts
Data isn’t useful if it’s unreadable or locked in a spreadsheet. We make things for teams on the ground who need to make real decisions.
Made by energy insiders, for energy insiders
Our entire team has deep expertise and experience in critical industries. We built CVector to respond to real problems and bring mature innovations into the field — not to “disrupt” something we don’t understand.
Leadership Team
Richard Zhang
Richard Zhang has spent years at the intersection of energy and technology, building software solutions inside companies like Shell, LIFTE H2, and Electric Hydrogen. After seeing energy teams struggle with outdated, fragmented data systems, he built CVector to give them real-time, high-fidelity insights — built for a world of uncertainty and shifting market dynamics.
Tyler Ruggles
Tyler Ruggles is an established energy systems modeling and optimization expert. His prior work has focused on techno-economic modeling that enables companies to make data-driven decisions about product R&D, energy project development, equipment sizing, energy arbitrage opportunities, and more. He has over 20 peer-reviewed articles on energy operations and analysis. At CVector, he’s helping energy teams turn complex modeling into real-time, actionable insights.
Joshua Napoli
Joshua Napoli is a technologist with over 20 years of experience building software for high-stakes environments—from 3D medical imaging to industrial automation. He’s led architecture at companies like Shell TechWorks and co-founded Cumulus, where he digitized quality assurance for heavy industry. At CVector, he designs modern software systems that give energy teams clarity, speed, and control.
