What the work looks like
Community infrastructure is often invisible until it works. It is the connective tissue between people who should know each other but do not yet share a room, a rhythm, or a reason to collaborate.
Obi’s contribution
- Co-organizing recurring technical and cross-functional community events.
- Creating formats that feel welcoming to both builders and operators.
- Building consistency so the network becomes durable instead of novelty-driven.
- Helping grow the series formerly known as Biz-Tech Mixer, now Startup Tech Connect, into a regularly running event with 75+ attendees since 2024.
Why this belongs on the site
For an emerging engineering leader, community work is not peripheral. It signals taste, generosity, and the ability to create opportunity beyond a single employer or project.
