Allan Muriithi Njagi
About Candidate
Recent Electrical and Electronic Engineering graduate (BSc, JKUAT) with hands-on experience across power systems, embedded systems, and renewable energy. My final year project involved designing a solar-powered, camera-guided bird detection and deterrence system for an irrigation scheme, combining computer vision, IoT hardware, and solar system design (PVsyst). I’ve completed industrial attachments at Kenya Railways Workshop, Oyster Electrical, and Devki Steel Mills, giving me practical exposure to industrial electrical systems, control panels, and maintenance operations.
I’m passionate about renewable energy — particularly solar — as well as embedded systems and electric mobility, and I’m looking to build a career applying engineering skills to Kenya’s clean energy transition. I bring strong problem-solving skills, a self-driven approach to learning new tools, and a track record of delivering complete technical projects from concept to working prototype.
