John is the main visionary of the prestigious and highly competitive 2020 Lexus Design Award Winning Open Source Community project. His designs anticipate not only basic energy and water needs but sustainable food security and environmental approach for any society. Despite the coronavirus pandemic, the project has benefitted people from all over the world on a day-to-day level as it was written in multiple articles across the world e.g., Forbes, Yanko Design, Architectural Digest, Dezeen among others including yesterday’s Lexus article in South Africa. We offer inspiration to other designers building out their projects. Our designs take a holistic approach while having a global perspective. This ensures that the solution adapts to multiple facets of the problem. Most recently, he is working with WaSoRe on their deep drilling expedition for Alpha Water.
In addition, Mr Kamau is working on projects that required critical problem-solving skills to bridge the gaps in organizations as well as improve existing processes. This is mainly through smart software digitization strategies as an Artintech partner.
Driving a digital transformation with our clients, our technology partners help us deal with issues around low performance, slow work processes, high cost of operations, difficulty in communication processes, and human errors, among others. We even help those that are still using Excel files or depend on printing paper forms in their current process flows via a cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning software. In addition, we offer competitive solutions, including Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, business process management modules to drive automation as well as predictive analytical modules to provide insight for proper decision-making.
