Green Energy
I am a passionate professional dedicated to advancing clean and sustainable energy solutions for both rural and urban communities. My expertise spans the development and implementation of renewable energy, low-carbon technologies, and green building practices, all of which are critical to achieving Sustainable Development Goals 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and 13 (Climate Action). Through cutting-edge research, hands-on training, and carbon analytics, I empower technicians, institutions, and companies to adopt innovative, eco-friendly solutions that drive a cleaner, more sustainable future. My commitment to green building ensures that energy-efficient and environmentally responsible design principles are integrated into urban and rural infrastructure. I am driven by a vision to create a positive, lasting impact through sustainable development, fostering resilient communities and a healthier planet.

As a dedicated professional in renewable energy and water management, I oversee critical projects in borehole drilling, solar water pumping systems, and pipeline design. My responsibilities include managing the entire drilling process—from planning to commissioning—while ensuring quality, timelines, and budgets are met. I craft detailed borehole completion reports, develop pipeline system designs, and prepare Bills of Quantities to ensure seamless project execution. I lead innovative community initiatives like Aquabot, delivering solar-powered water solutions to marginalized communities, advancing Sustainable Development Goals 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), and 13 (Climate Action). By coordinating cross-functional teams, managing risks, and documenting processes, I drive sustainable, high-impact projects that promote environmental stewardship and community well-being.

As a dedicated professional with the Covenant of Mayors in Sub-Saharan Africa (CoM SSA), I drive sustainable development by supporting the creation of Sustainable Energy Access and Climate Action Plans (SEACAP) through research, concept note development, and review. I identify, assess, and fund Urban Smart Energy projects, while documenting CoM SSA activities and outcomes. By co-creating local climate solutions via the Local Adaptation Booster and facilitating knowledge exchange among signatories, I ensure seamless coordination with partners and consultants. Additionally, I support project scopes, assist staff with field event logistics, and develop technical training to advance sustainable energy and green building initiatives.
