  • Digital Nomads: You too can become a global site reliability engineer, like Leke Ariyo


    Ariyo had spent his early years switching between software and leadership roles in Nigeria. He worked at FoodCourt and later co-founded Briks and EscrooVest, sharpening his technical instinct while also stepping into the hard lessons of building startups. In the UK, he leaned fully into reliability engineering.
    Though the demand for SREs has declined since the highs of 2023, when it was one of the most important tech roles, it remains a critical operation for many companies. SREs have been overshadowed by the demand for more AI expertise and tech infrastructure roles. Yet firms in Europe and the US keep hiring, from startups handling thousands of transactions to Big Tech companies that process billions.

  • Trump’s $100,000 H-1B fee could test Africa’s tech ecosystem ambitions


    Trump’s new $100,000 H-1B visa fee is more than a number. It could change the paths African tech workers take and how startups access talent. Smaller companies may pause hiring from abroad while the largest firms absorb the cost and keep tapping global talent. Some professionals might explore alternative visas, work remotely, or even return home, bringing skills and salaries back to Africa. In the short term, diaspora investment in local startups could dip, but in the long run this shift could unlock new opportunities for Africa’s tech ecosystems.
