Building for low-resource environments, where connectivity is unreliable, compute is expensive, and the assumption that users speak English is quietly baked into every default.

The infrastructure gap in the Nigerian Startup Act. I raised it at the GIZ/DTC policy dialogue in 2023, and affordable cloud infrastructure outside Lagos still matters enormously.
