What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on role in agricultural research or production where I can apply trial management, irrigation expertise, and data analysis to improve farmer outcomes and scale impact.

I am a Field Research Technician and Agricultural Engineer with hands-on experience in establishing and monitoring agronomic field trials, irrigation management, and crop production systems. I support research teams through careful experimental setup, field measurements, and technical reporting.

I have a proven track record of improving fertilizer and irrigation recommendations through rigorous data collection, cleaning, and analysis, and I have helped reduce post-harvest losses by advising on handling and storage practices. I also coordinated input logistics and quality control to ensure timely trial implementation.

I bring strong farmer engagement skills including demonstrations and participatory research, plus certifications in seed dealership, pesticide handling, and fertilizer regulation. I work effectively in team settings to translate field data into actionable recommendations for agricultural development programs.
