I envision a world where technology drives every aspect of communities leading to sustainable development. A collaborative world in which every technological innovation addresses a social problem and is aimed at improving the lives of people in another way.

 

 

Munyaradzi Madzoma is an Engipreneur pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Ashesi University and a Masters of Electrical Engineering at Arizona State University. He has a strong background in pure sciences and Mathematics. He is very passionate about power engineering, specifically generation, and distribution. He is interested in using data analysis with computer programming to improve power generation and distribution to digitalize the power processes in Africa. By doing this, he hopes to improve the power distribution processes and accelerate rural electrification in Africa.  Munyaradzi is also a Pan African student who believes in ethical and entrepreneurial leadership and has engaged himself in numerous community projects that improve the quality of education in rural areas. He believes that mentorship will help inspire communities to overcome barriers. Munyaradzi has experience as the Networking Engineering intern at Liquid telecoms in Zimbabwe, where he worked on the Network Operations Control Centre (NOCC). His roles included fixing networking Problems and offering remote technical support to customers. He has also worked on a project to improve the integration of solar energy into the utility grid by creating an efficient switching system between these energy sources. These experiences have expanded his vision for digitalizing electricity generation, distribution, and transmission in Africa. As an advocate for sustainable development and the fourth-generation industrial revolution, Munyaradzi wants to be an opinion leader who will spearhead development by bringing digitally controlled power generation, transmission, and distribution systems to Africa.
