DESCRIPTION:Imposter syndrome affects engineers everywhere\, but underrepre
 sented professionals often face amplified self-doubt due to geography\, li
 mited access\, and systemic biases. In this talk\, I share my 7-year journ
 ey as an African AI engineer building global impact from outside major tec
 h hubs. From founding DataFestAfrica and leading remote AI opportunities t
 o getting the attention of organizations like Huawei\, MongoDB\, McKinsey\
 , and AnyScale\, I’ll show how community\, mentorship\, open source\, me
 dia presence\, and strategic partnerships can create opportunities and inf
 luence. Attendees will gain practical strategies to overcome self-doubt\, 
 expand their reach\, and make a meaningful difference in tech\, no matter 
 where they are.
