Ugo M, GDG Organizer
I've been building software systems for quite a while, but these days I just focus on creating the best mobile application experiences using native iOS and Android toolkits as well as with Flutter.
JESSICA HANNAH RANDALL, GDG Organizer
As a Master's student in Mathematics, I'm driven to solve complex societal problems through my focus on Topological Data Analysis in Data Science. I'm proud to be a Women Techmaker Ambassador, GDSC Alumni Lead, and Microsoft Student Learn Ambassador Alumni Lead. I'm dedicated to empowering women in STEM and as a Community Lead for Africas Talking, I aim to share knowledge, host events, and uplift the South African community. I was drawn to AI and ML through my experience as a Google Crowdsource Influencer and am continually seeking to deepen my understanding. Driven by my love of learning, I believe knowledge is power and am eager to explore the latest developments in AI and ML.

Our goals are to produce graduates that will bring vibrant research ideas, products, and skills into the marketplace with them. Our graduate programme has been progressively revised away from superficial subject treatment to more in-depth training. By establishing prior requisites between modules, we identified a core set of subjects that are taught and emphasised in the undergraduate programme.
