Senior🎓
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. He combines hands-on full-stack engineering (Django/Wagtail, React/Vue, Next.js) with platform architecture and technical strategy to turn reporting obligations into decision-ready systems. 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. Comfortable leading small distributed teams, he mentors engineers while embedding with programme, research, and policy partners to ensure solutions fit real-world contexts. He’s actively exploring how AI and natural-language interfaces can make complex data systems accessible to non-technical programme teams. Based in Kampala, he pairs product-minded engineering with a track record of building durable tools for impact.
