About me

I am a Project Manager at Smart Villages Research Group, where I oversee six energy access projects across Africa and Southeast Asia. My work focuses on innovative, scalable solutions for rural development, including the deployment of Single Wire Earth Return (SWER) technology to reduce the cost of last-mile mini-grid connections in countries such as Lesotho, Tanzania, and Uganda.
