Recorded live at Africa Tech Summit Nairobi, this episode features Carrol Chang, CEO of Andela. Founded on the belief that brilliance exists everywhere but opportunity does not, Andela has evolved into a global talent marketplace connecting skilled technologists with opportunities around the world. In this conversation, Carrol explores how artificial intelligence is transforming software development, the changing role of engineers in an AI-powered world, and why continuous reskilling is becoming essential for technology professionals. The discussion also covers Andela's ambition to train 15,000 AI-fluent developers by 2026, the rise of "forward deployed engineers", and the challenges businesses face when scaling AI from pilot projects to enterprise-wide adoption.
