What I'm looking for

I’m looking to leverage my electrical/electronics expertise in a dynamic environment focused on innovation and operational excellence—staying up-to-date with emerging technologies, leading teams, improving reliability, and supporting sustainability with energy-saving solutions.

I’m an experienced electrical and electronics technician with a wide, hands-on background across industrial and domestic work. Since 2017, I’ve been working as a Freelance Technician, handling electrical installations, water filtration and desalination systems, mechanical repairs, circuit designing, and electronic repairs.

From 2009 to 2015, I served as Workshop Supervisor at Kenya Seed Company in Kitale, Kenya. I ensured optimal functionality through regular maintenance of tools and equipment, oversaw team operations, maintained accurate stock levels, and compiled monthly and annual activity reports.

Earlier, I worked as an Electronics Technician at Mastermind Tobacco Kenya, where I conducted fault detection and executed repairs across electrical and electronic production equipment. I also guided management on repair priorities and oversaw the maintenance and running of a spares store and inventory.

At Safari Beach Hotel, I maintained and troubleshot electrical and electronics equipment for lighting, kitchen appliances, laundry equipment, music instruments, and more. I designed and implemented energy-saving solutions for commercial premises, coordinated with contractors, documented maintenance activities, and supported safe, regulation-compliant installations.
