What I'm looking for

I want to be a key player in the automotive industry by using ICT-based programs that enable repairs to meet international standards, while growing professionally and helping develop safety devices and stronger technology attitudes in Kenya.

I’m a technically skilled mechanical engineering and automotive maintenance professional focused on vehicle and heavy plant servicing. I bring deep expertise in diesel engine service, fuel system diagnostics, and comprehensive advance vehicle fault diagnostics.

I’ve mastered electronic control systems and hydraulic systems for both automotive and plant machinery, with strong capability in vehicle troubleshooting, servicing, and consultation. I also handle vehicle assessment and valuation to support buying, selling, and dispute resolution for second-hand vehicles.

I’m an experienced instructor in automotive engineering, with training delivered in areas like engine technology, vehicle technology, workshop management, and computerized fault diagnostics. I also provide entrepreneurship education and Occupational safety training workshops, and I train clients on advanced vehicle fault diagnosis, digital controls, and industrial automation on production lines.

As Managing Director and Lead Technician at SALEMS SYSTEMS LIMITED, I help grow the enterprise through networks, technical training, exhibitions, and partnerships. I work on projects like improving a computerized vehicle diagnostics simulator and developing intelligent electronic boiler technology and hydraulic machines.
