What I'm looking for

I am seeking hands-on roles in industrial maintenance or fabrication where I can apply mechanical troubleshooting, workshop skills, and on-the-job mentorship to improve plant reliability.

I am a hands-on technology professional and mechanical technician with practical experience in sugar and tea processing industries. I bring over a year of direct industrial maintenance work, focused on preventive and corrective maintenance of heavy equipment.

My experience includes fabrication, lathe machining, arc welding, riveting, and shop operations, alongside installation and alignment of conveyors, pumps, gears and rotating equipment. I have worked on boilers, steam and condensate systems, vibroscreens, and CTC section machinery.

I am proficient with AutoCAD drafting and have supported basic control systems operation and mechanical fault diagnosis. I also enjoy mentoring and translating technical concepts into accessible learning materials for learners and trainees.

I hold a Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering (Kirinyaga University, 2025) and am passionate about continuous improvement, safe operations, and applying practical engineering skills to keep industrial plants running efficiently.
