About Dan Sisson
I don't write about these industries from a distance. I spent 40 years inside them — and I moved to the center of where they're converging before most people knew it was happening.
My name is Dan Sisson. I'm a industrial systems-trained electrical engineer, cloud infrastructure content developer, and knowledge platform builder. My career began designing control systems for GE nuclear reactors, NSA power grids, NASA wind tunnels, and nuclear complexes — work that required a DOE security clearance and a level of engineering precision that does not forgive abstraction. I then spent nearly three decades inside Microsoft and some time at Amazon Web Services and AI/ML systems at the practitioner level. I published one of the earlier guides to Google SEO in 2003 and ran a consulting business for 10 years. I have operated Go-Astronomy.com since 2004.
SiliconPlans - spanning ElectronsX, SemiconductorX, DatacentersX, 137ai, and AustinIO - is what I built to map what I see. It is not a content operation. It is a knowledge graph: structured, entity-resolved, cross-linked reference infrastructure designed to compound in value the way a canonical reference does, not the way an article does. Each site represents a thesis about where an ecosystem is going and what the structural knowledge gaps are right now.
I operate as a solo builder. That is an architecture decision, not a constraint. In the era of AI-assisted companies, controlling the taxonomy, the schema, the editorial thesis, the publishing stack, the workflow, and the cadence end-to-end produces a coherence and depth that teams with competing priorities rarely achieve, and with no baggage.
About ElectronsX
ElectronsX is the electrification and autonomy pillar of the SiliconPlans network. It maps the full ecosystem — from upstream critical materials and battery supply chains through EV platforms, autonomous vehicles, humanoid robotics, charging infrastructure, and grid-scale energy storage — as a structured knowledge graph, not a news feed. Coverage is organized around the electrification stack: vehicles, robots, autonomy, fleets, infrastructure, energy, and the supply chains that connect them. Every page is built for both human readers and machine learning systems.
Editorial approach: Independent. No sponsor directs coverage. Content is data-centric — tables, structured taxonomies, and cross-linked reference pages — built to be accurate, retrievable, and durable. Any affiliated relationships are disclosed explicitly.
ElectronsX is part of the SiliconPlans network, which maps the full AI-industrial stack across electrification & EV supply chains, semiconductor supply chains, AI data center infrastructure, physical AI governance, and geographic intelligence.
