About

Innovative electrical engineer with four years of experience in the electrical engineering field, showcasing expertise in designing and implementing power distribution systems. Proficient in utilizing cutting-edge software such as AutoCAD, ETAP, and DIA Lux for precise schematics and simulations. Adept at troubleshooting and problem-solving, with a commitment to ensuring the seamless integration of sustainable practices in electrical works.
Currently working at the 600 MW Karuma Hydropower Plant Project where I have done electrical installations on SCADA systems for the six generators. Additional works include optical fibre installation, testing and commissioning of optical fibre links, CCTV systems and fire alarm systems. My tasks expanded to developing comprehensive as-built drawings for all cabinets and other necessary documentation. My previous roles involved powerline design, construction, and commissioning.
Beyond technical skills, I bring strong communication and presentation abilities, effective stakeholder relationship management, and proven team collaboration and leadership skills. Project scheduling, scope creep management, observation, and analytical skills under pressure further complement my professional profile.
As an active member of the UIPE, I am committed to contributing to the field and staying updated on industry trends. In my community involvement, I've been part of the electrical engineering team working on redeveloping Kyasira Home of Hope into a self-sustaining community supporting its environment since November 2020.
I am passionate about design engineering and leveraging my skills to drive innovation and contribute to sustainable solutions in the electrical engineering field. Let's connect and explore opportunities together! You can reach me at ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
