Making West African solar trustworthy
A researcher and engineer going after the weak link of West African solar: whether you can trust the data.
An energy-efficiency engineer and researcher. I founded Kuma Science, which now has my exclusive focus, to fix what West African solar engineering lacks most: dependable data, and the means to use it. Guinea is my pilot ground. Day to day, I build qualified solar-data references and the software that makes them useful, from raw measurement to the field app. I’ve also co-authored two peer-reviewed papers on decarbonizing off-grid communities in northern Canada.
What I do
It always starts in the same place: making the solar resource measurable, then turning it into something useful.

Research & method
Qualifying and transferring solar data, with a method behind it: spatial calibration, uncertainty, pixel degeneracy. Validated, then published.
Learn moreData infrastructure
Kuma Data Core: the piece that ingests solar data, gives it a confidence level (A/B/C) and serves it by the million.
Learn moreTools & software
Sizing apps, desktop and mobile, so the qualified data actually reaches the design offices that need it.
Learn moreEnergy engineering
My original trade: building energy performance. Audits, EPC ratings, carbon assessments, thermal simulation.
