What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on role in clean-energy R&D or analytical labs where I can apply thermochemistry and durability testing to develop fuel-efficient stoves, contribute to community-focused solutions, and grow in field installation and data-driven product development.

I am an analytical chemist with a BSc in Chemistry and hands-on experience in laboratory analysis and durability testing. I focus on clean-energy solutions and practical fuel-efficiency improvements for cooking technologies.

In my current role as a Laboratory Analyst and Durability Expert, I apply thermochemistry to test efficiency, durability and fire power of charcoal, firewood and induction stoves, and I analyse calorific value across fuel types. I also conduct air quality monitoring and install thermo-equipment.

Previously I worked as an apprentice chemical analyst performing quality control checks on detergents and milk products, and I contributed to the development of fuel-efficient ECOA stoves. My work blends lab rigor with field installation, basic electrical work and welding.

I communicate results clearly, handle product monitoring and customer-facing tasks, and use Python for data analysis and web development. I seek roles where I can advance clean-energy access, apply R&D skills, and deliver measurable community impact.
