I am a Systems Engineer, working to build infrastructure at GitHub. I am also building a data intelligence platform called @afriaccess to support and showcase African producers; from Artisans to Agri. My goal is to develop systems that enables innovation across African production, and builds an ecosystem that allows the diaspora to connect with African production.
They wrote out their skills, their businesses, what they’re building, in their own words, to nobody in particular.
I was genuinely inspired going through them. A whole network of people on missions, all reaching for each other, buried in a comment section where nobody can actually connect.
