About Me

Dennis Kaweesi

Protection Engineer Power Systems R&D Founder

Bridging Power Systems With Software Innovation

I'm a Protection & Testing Engineer at IET International Energy Technik and Founder of RincolTech Solutions Ltd — a software company building intelligent tools for the engineering industry. With a BSc in Electrical Engineering from Makerere University and a DataCamp Data Scientist certificate, I operate at the intersection of high-voltage power systems and modern software development.

Over 7 years across UMEME, IET, and my own ventures, I've commissioned 132kV substations, rolled out IEC 61850 SCADA systems, developed Android applications, and built AI-powered automation agents. I believe the future of engineering is digital — and I'm building it.
