Peak Values Consulting builds smarter systems for complex industries with the kind of hands-on expertise you won’t find on a typical development team.
We’re a boutique group of data scientists, software engineers, and analysts with deep industry experience. We specialize in developing custom tools and intelligent systems for energy, renewables, industrial operations, and research-driven organizations. Whether it’s optimizing refinery throughput, modeling renewable production, forecasting demand, or simulating physical systems, we deliver solutions that are both technically rigorous and practically impactful.
We partner closely with our clients, often in ambiguous, high-stakes environments to design and prototype systems that work in the real world. From early concept to deployment, we move fast, think critically, and build with purpose.
In addition to our work with energy and industrial clients, we also support SaaS and technology companies with applied AI/ML, backend architecture, and product development needs. If your product involves algorithms, data pipelines, simulations, or anything “too mathematical for most dev shops,” that’s our sweet spot.

Karlo Vlahek
Senior Analytics Engineer
Karlo received his masters in Economics at UT Austin in December 2022. Discovering an early interest in econometrics, Karlo pivoted towards an interest in data science by completing various graduate-level coursework. Karlo has a passion for machine learning and conveying this powerful technology across industries and organizations. The beauty of it is that it is not limited to just one industry or discipline, but in fact, a horizontal technology with the potential of impacting the world as we know it. By undertaking various projects in graduate school and for clients, Karlo has also identified a passion for palatably conveying this information and telling stories for anyone to consider, regardless of their background. That is essentially where he is now, applying his data skills for organizations, industries, independent projects, and - most importantly - people.
