ESTER JOHN KAPESA

College of Agricultural Sciences and Food Technology

Agricultural Engineering

Biography

As an expert at the intersection of engineering and aquatic sciences, I hold a Master’s degree in Fish Processing Technology and a Bachelor’s in Bioprocess and Post-Harvest Engineering. This multidisciplinary foundation fuels my research interest in optimizing post-harvest value chains, advancing bioprocessing techniques, and developing sustainable systems to minimize loss in fisheries.

In my professional practice, I have built a reputation for delivering high-precision results within high-pressure environments. I am a resourceful and proactive team member, capable of operating with a high degree of autonomy to meet demanding timelines without compromising quality.

Beyond technical execution, I am committed to leadership and mentorship. I focus on fostering collaborative environments where knowledge sharing is a priority, supporting both team development and broader administrative goals. My mission is to bridge the gap between complex engineering solutions and the practical needs of the seafood industry through scientific rigor and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
