Summary
An enthusiast of improvement in every regard, wanting life activities made easy to reduce drudgery and bring energy input and returns to par. Climate change, Circular Economy, Sustainable Development goals, Food Security, Food Systems, Mechanized and Technology-driven aquaculture and agriculture, constant supply and availability of energy and clean water, and entrepreneurship (maximizing profit yet maintaining best standards of goods and services provided) have been my minds daily activity in finding plausible and feasible solutions and reforms. Teamwork, tranquillity and peace have been a necessity for me to thrive and do the best anywhere I find myself. Following Standing Operating Orders and Sequence of Operation, has also led me to ensure what must be done is done well and right. Being able to bring ideas onboard has been a no-brainier as long as I have the requisite knowledge and somewhat experience in that regard, I give thanks to God for that. Learning from friends, seniors, and juniors is a joy and humbling, which is important to survive in any space I find myself. Being useful and important is dear to me and wanting to know more.
