What I'm looking for

I'm looking to obtain systematic improvements in plant maintenance in the Technical services department.

At CSI Energy Group, I worked on construction of a 35 MW single-flash-cycle geothermal power plant in Menengai, configuring control and instrumentation for the steam turbine, condensate, cooling water, and gas extraction systems. I also worked on switchgear and Honeywell DCS installation.

At M-Gas and Proto Energy, I worked on automation across LPG filling, manufacturing, and monitoring systems. My projects included smart meter testing with AWS IoT, Raspberry Pi, Node-RED, and Python, as well as SCADA and remote tank monitoring using SigFox and LoRaWAN.
