The Minds Behind the Code
Zoharix Engineering CollectiveAfrica AI Week
A Little About Zoharix
A builder’s mind.
An African heart.
Zoharix is an independent engineering publication and research forum documenting the technical renaissance across the African continent.
We believe the most meaningful engineering breakthroughs happen when global architectural standards meet deep, emerging-market context. From offline-first distributed payment rails in West Africa to localized LLMs and computer vision in agritech, our dispatches focus on what actually works at scale.
Our contributors are active systems architects, AI researchers, and senior engineers building the digital backbone of the continent.
