About
Energy engineer and researcher, founder of Kuma Science
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.
