About
I blend analytical thinking with technical precision and people-focused communication. My experience spans research and data interpretation, GIS mapping and field insights, clinical diagnostics in eye care, and high-impact sales activation for premium brands. I thrive where data, technology, and human interaction meet to turn information into clarity, solutions, and results.
Experience
Ophthalmic Technician
- Assisted in conducting comprehensive eye examinations, including visual acuity tests and refraction.
- Operated ophthalmic diagnostic equipment such as slit lamps, tonometers, and autorefractors.
- Provided patient education on eye care, treatment plans, and post-procedure instructions.
- Maintained patient records and ensured accurate data entry for diagnoses and prescriptions.
- Managed and sterilized ophthalmic instruments following hospital safety protocols.

Member of the Multimedia University of Kenya Optical Society.
Diploma in Geographic Information Systems
Geographic Information Science and Cartography.
Projects
Wideband Absorption Coefficient Determination of Glass Substrates (COMSOL Multiphysics)
I conducted a numerical study to determine the absorption coefficient of glass substrates over a wide spectral range using COMSOL Multiphysics. The work involved electromagnetic wave modeling, material parameter definition, frequency-domain simulations, and post-processing of transmitted and reflected fields to compute absorption. The project demonstrates practical application of multiphysics simulation, optical material characterization, and data analysis for broadband photonic and optoelectronic applications.
