Today
Solarpunk and music
The idea that ties together everything I do, and where I'm heading.
Solarpunk
Solarpunk is the idea of a future where humanity, technology and nature thrive in harmony. It isn’t a distant utopia: it’s built with solar panels on rooftops, gardens in neighborhoods, clean public transport, machines that capture carbon and communities that organize.
Nature, humanity and technology: a future where all three live in harmony.
It’s what ties every chapter of this story together: the engineering of CarbonU, the innovation of the Ecosystem, the management of Robocol and the music. I write about solarpunk theory on the blog, hoping to help imagine that future and encourage climate action in my communities.

Music
I’ve played guitar since 2010. My music blends rock, punk, jazz and prog influences, in jams and soundscapes that invite improvisation and making things with others. I haven’t released my songs yet; music is the other way I try to imagine that future.
What’s next
I was admitted to the MSc in Cleantech Innovation at Imperial College London, the natural next step to bring together engineering, project management and innovation in climate technology.
