## About

```text
At Mwadingusha Power Station (SNEL), I monitored hydroelectric generator performance and analyzed how water flow affected grid output efficiency. I also assisted with maintenance and operational assessments and contributed to data collection and performance reporting.

My final-year project at the University of Lubumbashi (UNILU) focused on the techno-economic analysis of a hybrid solar-storage grid-connected system. I work with HOMER Pro, MATLAB, and AutoCAD, and my technical interests include hybrid energy systems, battery storage, and grid stability.
