I am a passionate technologist who believes that innovation could help bridge the different divides that persist in our communities. With a background in Mobile Distributed Systems and Community building at my core, I have worked with organizations like the Mozilla Foundation, GitHub, and UNICEF Office of Innovation to create and foster communities like that of the OKY App which educates young girls on menstrual health and the Mozilla Common Voice project that aims to democratize Natural Language Processing  for African Languages. I hope to bring insights and contributions that strengthen and add value to the re:publica community
