Electrics & Electronics Systems Engineer in Uganda contributing to Uganda's EV Charging Infrastructure.

Uganda

Message

I support DC fast-charging infrastructure across the Uganda, from site assessment and installation readiness through testing, commissioning, service, and maintenance.

I contribute to IMARA, a locally developed DC fast charger, including engineering specifications, localization assessment, system integration, and test planning. I also develop pricing models for charging services, maintenance, installation, and energy billing.

At the Integrated Smart Systems Research Group, Makerere University, I completed energy-sector research on power systems, distributed generation, and grid performance. My work included modeling reactive-power support from cogeneration centers in DIgSILENT PowerFactory and studying EV charging and PV hosting capacity.
