At SolBid, our team consists of hard-working individuals, each with their own unique story. Today, we're delighted to shine a spotlight on Sankalp Vyas, one of our talented Software Engineer/Machine Learning Interns.
Sankalp works on SolBid’s internal research initiatives, where he supports the development of intelligent systems aimed at enhancing the planning and deployment of solar energy projects. His work helps improve the precision and efficiency of technology-assisted evaluations, ultimately supporting SolBid’s mission of accelerating clean energy adoption.
Sankalp began his engineering journey in 2018 with a B.Tech in Computer Science from Symbiosis, where he gained a solid foundation in software development. His curiosity for data science and machine learning led him to pursue a Master’s in Computer Science at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 2023—an experience that has further sharpened his skills in analytics, modeling, and real-world problem solving.
Sankalp first heard about SolBid through a senior who spoke highly of their experience with the company. Later, while searching for opportunities in clean energy, he found SolBid listed on the MassCEC internship portal. The alignment between SolBid’s mission and Sankalp’s interest in impactful, tech-driven work made it an ideal match.
For Sankalp, the appeal was clear: a chance to work at the intersection of clean energy and machine learning. He was drawn to the meaningful nature of the work and the opportunity to collaborate with a team committed to innovation and sustainability.
What Sankalp values most is the open and supportive work culture. “Everyone’s ideas are welcomed, and collaboration is at the heart of everything,” he shares. He also enjoys the office’s fun perks—like the arcade machines that make for lively and enjoyable breaks.
Sankalp’s contributions directly support SolBid’s clean energy goals. By helping build and refine tools that assist in planning solar installations, his work helps make renewable energy more accessible, scalable, and cost-effective.
His favorite project so far? Preparing and optimizing training datasets for AI model development. “Working closely with the data gave me insight into how foundational it is to building smart, reliable systems,” he says.
To maintain a balanced lifestyle, Sankalp prioritizes regular gym sessions and downtime with video games. These activities help him recharge and stay focused, ensuring he brings his best to each workday.
Outside of SolBid, Sankalp enjoys a mix of fitness, gaming, and entertainment. Whether he’s lifting weights, exploring new games, or catching a favorite show, he always makes time for the things that bring joy and relaxation.
“Stay curious, give your best, and enjoy the ride.” This motto reflects Sankalp’s approach to life—embracing learning, putting in the effort, and appreciating the journey.
Sankalp hopes to see renewable energy become the default choice around the world. He’s especially excited about how AI and automation can accelerate the transition to clean energy, making it more efficient, integrated, and widely available.
We’re proud to have Sankalp on the SolBid team, contributing his skills and passion to our mission of empowering businesses with sustainable energy solutions.
