What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply GHG inventory expertise and engineering skills toward sustainability, stakeholder engagement, and measurable process improvements.

I am an industrial engineering professional with a strong focus on sustainability, climate resilience, and process optimization. I combine hands-on engineering experience with research in GHG inventories and waste management to drive measurable improvements.

My recent work includes contributing to Malawi's National GHG Inventory using IPCC 2006 Guidelines and developing centralized data repositories with QA/QC processes for time-series consistency. I have led situational analyses and emissions assessments across energy, AFOLU, IPPU and waste sectors.

I have practical engineering experience designing technical solutions—ranging from pressure vessels to biomass and briquette machinery—and using tools such as AutoCAD, CAE, and CNC programming. I bring strong data-analysis capability using SPSS and IPCC inventory software and solid project coordination skills.

I am committed to applying research-backed methods to improve industrial efficiency and sustainability, and I have a track record of stakeholder engagement, proposal development, and training on climate-smart practices.
