Tanyaradzwa Chisepo is a graduating senior in Computer Science with a strong interest in software engineering and artificial intelligence. Over the course of her studies and projects, she has worked across web development, computer vision, and creative applications of machine learning. She is passionate about building technology that not only works but also solves real problems and creates meaningful impact. Tanya thrives on learning new technologies and immersing herself in complex problem-solving, always eager to expand her skill set and tackle challenges from the ground up. She especially enjoys building solutions from scratch, starting with a simple idea and transforming it into something tangible that others can use and benefit from. Growing up in Zimbabwe, Tanya witnessed firsthand the challenges that arise from limited access to technology. She saw how lack of resources could restrict opportunities for people with talent, ambition, and drive. This experience continues to shape her vision and motivates her to dedicate herself to expanding access to technology in underrepresented communities. She believes technology should be an enabler, not a barrier, and she is determined to contribute to building systems that create opportunity rather than deepen divides. Recently, her focus has been on building inclusive products, particularly in the fields of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Too often, communities of color are overlooked or underrepresented in the datasets and systems that drive modern technology. This oversight results in products that do not fully recognize or serve people from diverse backgrounds.

Through her projects, Tanya aims to raise awareness of these gaps and to encourage more creators, developers, and researchers to design systems that are inclusive by default. Her goal is to use her knowledge and skills to bridge technological gaps, address inequities, and drive innovation that reflects the diversity of the world we live in. By combining her technical expertise with her personal background, she strives to build impactful solutions that empower people, amplify voices that are too often unheard, and inspire others to create technology that truly serves everyone.
