Top SchoolEdwin Magezi is a founder and technical lead with a decade of experience building data-driven platforms and sustainable digital infrastructure for mission-driven organisations across Africa and beyond.

His work includes leading the Global Nutrition Report’s Nutrition Accountability Framework—used by governments and NGOs worldwide—and piloting AI-augmented district decision-support tools in Uganda that blend conversational analytics with narrative-first policy briefs.
