What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a solar-focused role where I can lead mini-grid installation and O&M, monitor solar performance metrics, troubleshoot electrical issues fast, and deliver projects on time and within budget with integrity.

I’m a dedicated, result-driven solar system expert with 17 years of experience developing, implementing, and managing solar projects for businesses. I bring “impeccable knowledge of structural energy science,” plus unmatched problem-solving and troubleshooting skills to deliver reliable outcomes on time and within budget.

In my current role as a Technical Lead/Superintendent, I’ve overseen installations including a 160kWp Solar Mini-grid system and a 120kWp solar mini-grid system, while ensuring strong performance through data acquisition, monitoring, and O&M. Previously, as a Field Engineer, I delivered powered systems (e.g., mini-grids, inverters, and solar street lights) and provided technical guidance for power system startup, commissioning, and quality control. I also combine field expertise with IT/network depth from earlier work as an IT-Project Specialist and Cisco certifications.
