About me

My name is Eric Pannaye.

At pram age, I was fascinated by cranes and construction sites.

At 5, I wondered how the breast feeding process worked. Same age, a pair of roller skates came to me with a spanner. The poor skates got stripped a few times. But always remained in good order. Many other objects had to deal with the same treatment and still do today.

This led to engineering studies where I frustrated my friends by wanting to understand basics. The eternal "why" and "how" questions. During these studies, two things triggered me. The first was the constant focus on electrical power plants (at least perceived by me), to the point that when of my friends did an internship in one of them, I found it plain stupid. The second, when visiting a laboratory where they were exploring the capacities of ultrasound to find "holes in metals". Who the hell would waste their time with this?!

Guess who. Me! I ended up testing materials, mainly with ultrasounds, and managing inspections programs in a nuclear power station in Cape Town. Obviously, there was a reason to my student reactions to the topics. Take note of what gets up your nose!

Technology, objectives and budget were easy there, but Life hit me. I could not understand (that word again) the behavior of people. Aren't they confusing!

Since I know that everything makes sense depending on how we look at it, that is exactly what I did. I looked. And here we are with "energyneering", making sense of behavior and life, looking at them as the interactions of energy systems.

My background taught me to measure, analyse, manage. Gave me understanding of life, technology and business. My need to understand made me question, think, solve, create models.

I now use all of that and the growing integration of energyneering into the Kehful perspective to" assist people to live their life".

The major precept that is emerging is that "when things make sense, we find some peace and are able to choose easily what suits us in life, knowing Why".

Through life in society, we get exposed to propositions that don't make sense. They contain crooked logics and information that create contradictions and keep us in a corner.

We have to detangle them to derive a proposition that makes sense for us and is worth living.

Welcome to the world of Energyneering and Kehful.
