Justin Ahinon

AfricArxiv - Co founder & Head of Communication

Parakou, Benin

I am Justin Ahinon a final year undergraduate student in statistics applied to economics.
I'm also the lead web developer of Orizon Web Services, a digital marketing agency based in Parakou, Benin.
I'm particularly interested in WordPress technology and architectures, and I'm currently member of the Core WordPress Development Team and also a WordPress theme reviewer.

I am also interested in how scientific/academic content is accessed in Africa and more specifically in French-speaking Africa.

Last June, I co-founded with a colleague of Germany , AfricArxiv, a free preprint platform for African scientists.

I am also particularly involved in the development of digital literacy among children, especially girls. I am therefore working on Hack Her_, a digital discovery programme to facilitate the feminisation of the sector in my country, Benin.

I am also co-leader of the Keoubougou Pi project, a programme to facilitate digital skills acquisition among young school children using Raspberry Pi as their main working tools. (ah I forgot, I’m also a big fan of arduino, RPI and embedded computing).
