I'm Warwick.
My core strengths are in product leadership and strategy, aligning technology with human needs to drive real-world outcomes that create impact.
My passion lies in designing systems-level solutions. I look for ways to simplify and productise how things get done; enabling people, or people supporting others, to work more effectively for impact outcomes.

I'm currently building Akoranga.xyz, using AI to make learning to read fun, accessible, and customised for every child.
Previously, I led $8M in innovation funding at UNICEF, helping youth across Africa access tech careers. I played a leadership role in Yoma, a blockchain-based digital identity platform for verifying skills and experience.
Before that, I founded the African Coding Network, an initiative that equipped African coding schools with shared resources and an open-source EdTech platform to train professional developers more effectively.
Earlier, I launched a design thinking consultancy, working on C-suite strategy, entrepreneurship policy, employee and customer experience, and education reform.
And at the very beginning, I trained as an architect, designing for social development.
Over the years, I’ve launched a range of low-code and no-code MVPs, often starting with little more than a domain name and a hunch. I love the process of building something from nothing.

I have many hobbies, mostly creative endeavours, which I strated writing about here. I'm action orientated, and my approach to anything to to simply give it a go.
I recorded and produced a folky album. I strated a you tube channel. I like dabbling in videography, photography, painting and DIY things.
