Smart
Agriculture
(agriculture, water and environment)
Sensors, data and AI for farms, food systems, water and the environment.
For agricultural and environmental research teams, agritech projects, NGOs and funders.
The Motion Analysis Research Laboratory (MARL) at the Islamic University in Uganda, where I work, builds sensing and AI systems for real problems, including an autonomous greenhouse with real-time visualisation and a sensor-based framework for water overflow control and leakage detection.
What I bring to projects like these is the data side: how data is collected from sensors and surveys, how it is stored and shared, and how it is analysed and reported so that farmers, programmes and funders can act on it. My published work on IoT systems and big data backs this up.
I can support your project with study design, IoT data collection, analysis and modelling, and reporting.

How I
Help
Study design and data collection
Field surveys, sensor data collection plans and sampling for farm, market and environmental studies.
IoT and sensing systems
Choosing sensors, connectivity and cloud or edge platforms, and making sure the data they produce is reliable.
Data analysis and modelling
Statistics, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and machine learning in R, Python, SPSS and SmartPLS, explained so your team can defend every result.
Data management
Data management plans and FAIR data practice, so the project’s data can be found and reused after it ends.
Reports and findings
Technical reports, journal papers and policy briefs that turn the analysis into clear findings and recommendations.
How It
Works
01
Free call
We talk for 30 minutes about your project, your data and what you need from a research partner. You leave with a clear next step.
02
Plan
You get a written plan: my role, the methods, the timeline and what you will receive, with a clear quote or a budget line for your proposal.
03
Deliver & report
I do the work with your team, explain every step, and deliver the findings in the form you need: tables, reports, papers or a policy brief.
