Senior🎓
Top SchoolMike Aono is a Lead of the Data Science Unit with over a decade of hands-on software engineering experience, currently driving data and platform work for the World Food Programme’s SCOPE project. He specializes in Python/Django, data engineering, interoperability across health and humanitarian systems (OpenMRS, ODK, DHIS2, OpenHIM), and Linux server operations, regularly building ETL pipelines, APIs, and data-quality tooling.

Comfortable across backend, mobile interoperability, and CI/CD/DevOps, he brings both pragmatic delivery and a track record of designing integration solutions for complex, multi-system environments.
