Progress Ochuko Eyaadah is building the blockchain infrastructure Africa’s payments problem deserves and teaching women to do the same
- Ochuko Eyaadah transitioned to technology during the COVID-19 pandemic and is now a senior blockchain engineer at Toyow.
- She is a developer relations mentor at Women in DeFi, empowering women in blockchain and decentralized finance.
- Ochuko contributes to the Stellar blockchain ecosystem and mentors emerging developers across Africa.
Ochuko's journey highlights the critical need for diversity in technology, particularly in blockchain, where the absence of women can lead to a narrow perspective in problem-solving. Her commitment to mentorship and community building is essential for fostering innovation and ensuring that the technology developed serves a broader demographic. This approach not only addresses gender disparities but also enhances the overall effectiveness of blockchain solutions in Africa.
