Independent (Dirug Samuel)

I build technology for women and communities that systems routinely ignore and I do it in environments where infrastructure is weak, trust is fragile, and failure has real consequences. For nearly a decade, I have designed and deployed digital solutions across gender based violence response, menstrual health, digital education, and social protection in Nigeria and other underserved settings. My work sits in between technology, policy, and lived community realities. I am the Founder Big Family 360 and I developed these solutions: HerPride, an AI powered menstrual health and self care app combining cycle tracking, medical insights, USSD access for basic phones, and affordable organic menstrual products. I also built SmartRR, a GBV reporting and case management platform that has been deployed across multiple Nigerian states and other African Countries recognized with Awards from UNFPA, EU/IDEO 16 days of activism innovation awards among others.
