Roy is a soft­ware engi­neer and has been part of the tech indus­try sin­ce 2007 and has been doing front­end way befo­re it was cool. He is a UI enthu­si­ast focu­sed on imple­men­ting the smoot­hest designs for web app­li­ca­ti­on libra­ries, ani­ma­ti­ons, and UI frame­works.

As a front­end and backend Java­Script deve­lo­per, Kel­vin began his deve­lo­p­ment jour­ney in 2015 when he and his two friends deci­ded they could deve­lop rea­listic solu­ti­ons for the Afri­can con­ti­nent. The app­li­ca­ti­ons were, and still are, desi­gned to crea­te social impact and chan­ge the who­le per­spec­ti­ve of how peop­le inter­act and rela­te to each other. His UX/UI jour­ney began much ear­lier, when he was an under­gra­dua­te on cam­pus, ear­ning a few bucks doing gra­phic design for aspi­ring poli­ti­ci­ans and mid-sized com­pa­nies. He later moved away from the­re and was able to get a TV sta­ti­on in order, set up the local ser­vers for a bet­ting com­pa­ny, and get invol­ved in several pro­jects. He lear­ned about Mench­Link and was exci­ted by the idea, as it ali­gned with his life goal and was a rewar­ding chal­len­ge for a developer.

Jack is a trai­ned food sci­en­tist with know­ledge in nut­ri­tio­nal sci­en­ces. His love of rea­ding was the rea­son he dis­co­ve­r­ed the field of data sci­ence. It quick­ly beca­me appa­rent that he has a knack for rese­arch and deve­lo­p­ment, par­ti­cu­lar­ly the use of data sci­ence to deve­lop models that can help impro­ve food secu­ri­ty in Kenya by maxi­mi­zing agri­cul­tu­ral pro­duc­tion and resour­ce allo­ca­ti­on in general.
