ABOUT ME

Holden is a slight-eco-geek, a breakfast-cooker, an ultimate player, a hammock-sitter, and enjoys exploring via walking, running, unicycling, bicycling, motorcycling, hitchhiking, and regular ole' roadtrippin'.
I am a mechanical engineer who has a decade of real-world, hands-on experience with UAVs and EVs, and recently grid-scale energy storage. I did my MBA at Oxford's Saïd Business School, graduating in 2014, and moved to Nairobi, Kenya.
