I design and deliver large-scale solar and battery energy systems.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead solar and electrical energy projects where I can apply system design, project management, technical supervision, and data analysis to deliver sustainable energy solutions.

I've designed and managed commercial and industrial solar systems at Powercell Limited, including 1.5MWp Justrite Superstore projects with up to 2.6MWh battery backup. My work spans solar design, installation management, safety compliance, and technical supervision.

Previously, I delivered NGO solar projects at Development Africa and maintained electrical, telecom power, HVAC, and energy systems across facility and field engineering roles. I use PVSyst, Helioscope, AutoCAD, Python, and Excel to develop sustainable energy solutions from concept through completion.
