What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply data analysis and engineering skills while growing technically and contributing to a collaborative, efficiency-focused team.

I am an agricultural and biosystems engineer with a strong academic foundation from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology and practical experience applying engineering principles to agricultural production and post-harvest research.

My hands-on roles include data analysis of production, agronomic and packhouse records to forecast volumes, improve profitability, and support traceability for export markets, alongside lead post-harvest research to extend vase and shelf life for horticultural products.

I combine technical skills—data cleaning, MS Office proficiency, quality control, machinery maintenance—and collaborative problem-solving to deliver efficiency, compliance with export standards, and evidence-based recommendations that reduce losses and improve operational outcomes.
