Independent researcher and advocate for off-grid energy solutions. I moved to Brazil where I run a small farm and design and test solar-powered systems for everyday use. My background is in web development, with 20 years of experience building tools that make technical information accessible to non-experts.

I am autistic, which shapes how I approach problems: I focus on data, verifiable specs, and repeatable methods rather than marketing claims or assumptions. Nature and energy independence are not abstract topics for me. They are part of how I live.

I started contributing to Appropedia because I believe practical knowledge about renewable energy and self-sufficiency should be free, accurate, and available to everyone. My main areas of interest are solar energy, appropriate technology, and sustainable farming.
