Naib Mobassir

He is passionate about using technology to bring about positive social change and make people’s lives easier. As an engineer, Naib has worked on a plethora of projects over the past decade across a variety of different sectors. He engineered a large-scale investment platform for a global real estate & asset management firm, built the system for a computer-graphics-augmented rendition of The Tempest, created software to interpret brain scans from rhesus monkeys, and more recently led innovations in the telemedicine and health tech space.

Naib is a strong believer in the ability to change entire governments by intelligent use of technology. In 2015, Naib and a group of his friends successfully raided the Tanzanian government’s financial archives and created a visualizer to display spending discrepancies (check out a sample) among high officials. This later allowed the World Bank to revisit its economic policy in Tanzania. In Bangladesh, Naib worked on the World Bank’s “Leveraging ICT Growth, Employment and Governance Project” where he collaborated with the country’s top engineers to revamp the government’s tech infrastructure. More recently, Naib has taken an interest in American politics, where he has won several campaigns for progressive candidates at the county and state level, by engineering ways to reduce redundancies in political organizing and outreach.
