Paul Korir

Paul Korir leads the data science team at a global non-profit, where he oversees initiatives that harness data for social impact through training, thoughtful design, and the integration of meaningful technologies. With a background spanning telecom, genomics, bioinformatics, digital learning, and software development, Paul brings both depth and breadth to every project he touches.

He is the author of Code QuickWins™, a practical and accessible introduction to Python programming—created with the belief that coding should be within reach for everyone, especially young Africans charting their path in a fast-moving world.

At the heart of Paul’s work is a deep conviction: that Africa’s greatest constraint is not a lack of resources, but a misalignment of skills. Through sci2pro, Paul is building a platform to reignite Africa’s technical foundations—starting with literacy, numeracy, and essential digital tools. He doesn’t chase trends. Instead, he champions the fundamentals, believing that long-term growth begins with strong, local roots.
