Kenechukwu Ndunwa is a Nigerian technology entrepreneur, engineer, product designer, and sustainability advocate. He is the Co-founder of TynuEV Technologies and Kike AI, where he leads the development of innovative solutions at the intersection of artificial intelligence, clean energy, mobility, and climate technology.

Kene began his innovation journey with a strong foundation in mechatronics engineering, developing expertise in embedded systems, Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, drone design and piloting, electronics engineering, battery technologies, and computer aided design. He is also certified in 0.5/3C Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery technology for commercial and industrial energy storage applications.

In 2018, he founded Toniks, a sustainability focused venture that recycled laptop batteries into portable power banks, promoting affordable energy access while reducing electronic waste.

As Co-founder of TynuEV Technologies, Kene is helping drive the transition to electric mobility across Africa. His work focuses on solving challenges related to electric vehicle adoption, charging infrastructure, interoperability, and ecosystem development. Through TynuEV, he is contributing to the growth of a cleaner, more sustainable transportation future.

He is also the Co-founder of Kike AI, an AI powered kitchen and carbon intelligence platform transforming the LPG ecosystem. Kike AI enables real time cooking gas monitoring, predicts refill schedules, connects consumers with verified gas vendors, and provides valuable demand and consumption analytics. The platform has grown to serve more than 9,000 users and is expanding its footprint beyond Nigeria into Ghana and India.

Under his leadership, Kike AI successfully provided gas metering and live consumption tracking for the Guinness World Record largest pot of jollof rice cooked by Hilda Baci in Lagos, demonstrating the platform's ability to monitor large scale LPG usage with precision.

Kene also led the development of kMRV, an embedded Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification engine that converts verified clean cooking data into measurable carbon credits. This innovation enables gas vendors to participate in carbon markets while accelerating the adoption of cleaner cooking fuels.

His contributions to innovation and entrepreneurship have earned recognition from programs including Zecathon 2.0, backed by Zenith Bank and Seedstars, among other technology and innovation initiatives.

Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science after obtaining a National Diploma in Mechatronics Engineering, Kene combines technical expertise with entrepreneurial vision to build technologies that solve real world problems. His work spans artificial intelligence, clean energy systems, climate technology, embedded systems, electronics design, mechanical product development, drone operations, software development, and advanced product engineering.

Driven by a passion for innovation and impact, Kene continues to develop solutions that create economic opportunities, improve lives, and advance sustainable development across Africa and beyond.
