We’re delighted to share that OLS has two new staff members: Tajuddeen, who has joined OLS as the coordinator for our collaborative ECB grant, and Debs, who has joined the OLS team as a junior web developer. Between Tajuddeen, Debs, and Jilaga (OLS’s Outreachy intern for re-branding), Nigerians are now the most highly-represented nationality in the OLS team!
This blog is in Nigerian Pidgin and in English.

My name is Deborah Udoh A.K.A Debs. I’m a Nigerian, of the Anang tribe in Akwa Ibom state. Fun fact! Anang people are rumoured to be cannibalistic. I’d rather devour Jack Reacher novels though.
My passions in life are people and tech. So, I’m studying to become a Nurse Practitioner, while simultaneously practising Web Development.
I love food, podcasts, photography, horror flicks and making computers do my bidding (* evil laugh *).
There’s a short list of things I won’t do for dark chocolate and ice cream!
Please say hi to Debs and Taj in the Slack - we’re delighted to have them onboard!
