While piloting Nomagro with rural farmers who lacked internet access, I discovered our platform couldn’t reach them directly. I redesigned the distribution model by turning local agro-input agents into offline data relays — they collected farmer questions via WhatsApp and synced them later. This social workaround boosted adoption by 370% without requiring new infrastructure.
I co-founded Arbitency Inc., where I built AI-driven financial prediction and HFT systems integrated with the CME Exchange, enabling millisecond-level algorithmic trades with dynamic risk controls.
