Thinker. Founder. Builder of practical robotic systems.

focused on the hard middle ground between idea and deployment: mechanical design, product decisions, prototyping, and systems that can work in real environments.

Builder first: designing hardware concepts with deployment, maintenance, and real operating conditions in mind.

Founder mindset: translating an infrastructure problem into a focused product direction for OVEX.

Engineering discipline: learning continuously, testing assumptions, and building toward reliable systems.

Intelligent robotic systems for Africa’s technological development.

The mission is to contribute to Africa’s technological development by creating intelligent robotic systems that solve important real world problems, starting with systems that can improve urban sanitation through automation, mobility, and engineering discipline.

Featured project

Robotic waste collection system

OVEX WCR00126

A robotic waste collection system being developed to improve urban sanitation through automation, intelligent mobility, and mechanical engineering discipline.

DEVELOPMENT FOCUS

Designing, testing, and refining the mechanical and mobility systems needed for an automated sanitation platform.
