Temi here! I believe that the most powerful systems are not solely created with code; they are developed with empathy, ethics, and a deep understanding of the people they serve.Â
My name is Temi, and I am a fourth-year PhD student in Information Science. I am devoted to exploring the intersection of human infrastructure and technological work. My research investigates how values are integrated into the tools we use, particularly in resource-constrained environments where innovation is not just a luxury but a necessity.Â
My work lives at the crossroads of philanthropy and technology. I’m fascinated by how we can leverage technological systems to uplift communities, ensuring that as our world becomes more digital, it also becomes more equitable. Whether I’m analyzing the 'hidden' labor that keeps systems running or rethinking how we 'technologize' social good, I’m driven by one question: How do we create tech that genuinely cares?
