Message

At WTS Foundation, I coordinate EV technical training and sustainable-mobility programmes with government institutions, development partners, operators, training institutions, and industry stakeholders. I deliver and support training on EV architecture, battery systems, electric drivetrains, maintenance, diagnostics, and safety.

I led e-bus technician training with Kigali Bus Services, supporting the upskilling of 50+ technicians in maintenance, system optimisation, and safe operations. I also train and support the upskilling of 150+ Kenyan youth through the NITA, GIZ Kenya, and WTS Foundation initiative.

My engineering experience includes supporting equipment maintenance at Kenya Power and public-fleet workshop operations at Nairobi City County Garage. On the ICE Go-Kart to Electric Go-Kart Conversion project, I designed and supported the conversion to an electric drivetrain, including battery and motor sizing and mechanical and electrical integration.
