I’m a technical field and research agriculturist delivering science-based solutions for sustainable vegetable production.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented agriculturist with a strong life-sciences foundation and hands-on expertise in open-field and greenhouse production. I bridge research and practice through experimental design, data analysis, and agronomy to deliver science-based consulting and dependable field operations.
In my current role as a Technical Field Officer, I trained and empowered 1,600+ farmers in sustainable vegetable production, coordinated field demonstration days, and served as a key liaison between farmers, agro-input dealers, and collectors. I collect and evaluate project data to assess training effectiveness and material impact, and I’ve supported measurable increases in adoption of water-saving technologies and irrigation solutions.
Before this, I worked as a Research for Development Assistant, reviewing greenhouse structures, conducting field trials, and developing production budgets for both open-field and controlled-environment systems. I also created a fertilizer requirement calculator, produced vegetables using systems like NFT and Cocopeat, and analyzed crop yield and production costs to guide decisions—while developing Standard Operating Procedures aligned with safety and quality policies.
