E4C’s Fellows move on from their work with us to achieve high-impact careers and volunteer work in sustainable development. The ‘Where Are They Now?’ series tracks Engineering for Change’s Fellowship alumni through their work in sustainable development engineering. We ask about what they’re doing and how the fellowship has influenced their careers. Our alumni have high-impact careers that are meaningful to them and the communities where they work.
The greatest benefit of the E4C Fellowship is the development of professional skills, according to fellows who completed the program. For more, see this research collaboration with the Siegel Family Endowment that explores the impact of an E4C Fellowship.
Here we are pleased to introduce Deji Adebayo, an E4C Fellowship alum based in in Kigali, Rwanda, a Research Associate at Carnegie Mellon University Africa, and most recently in the private sector.
E4C: What are you working in now?
DA: I’m a Software and Data Engineer with experience in developing software and data-driven solutions for financial institutions. I’m currently part of a technology innovation program that aims to bring about tech in different sectors of the African Economy.
E4C: How did our fellowship affect your career?
DA: It has helped broaden my network and help me embrace an approach to working with people from different work cultures or backgrounds. It has helped me to stay focused.
As an E4C Fellow, Deji Adebayo worked on a project sponsored by Bamcore and Autodesk Foundation: Developing Product Roadmap for Digital Fabrication Platform.
