Pride of Workmanship Award

As the founder of CropGuard, Troy was presented with the Pride of Workmanship Award 2017 by the Rotary Club of Barbados. CropGuard is an agriculture-centric ICT platform. It was made to build the capacity of farmers to control pests and reduce crop loss. The solution was a direct response to the CTA AgriHACK Talent Caribbean initiative and was developed under a coordinated team effort. CropGuard features a Mobile App, Web Dashboard, and an Open Data API to connect agricultural stakeholders, promote knowledge management and encourage youth in agriculture.

Troy's research focuses on the human-centered design and development of cognitive augmentation technologies that enhance knowledge work. Barbados' national expert for mobile innovation under the World Summit Awards, Troy has been board-certified as an associate human factors professional.
