The Tech Bae Team

Charmaine Mabika

Founder and CEO of The Tech Bae

Charmaine is a quality assurance analyst, tech influencer and founder of the tech advocacy platform www.thetechbae.com

​

Charmaine works for a global consulting firm that provides testing services to various corporate clients. She first started her journey after graduating in Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience from the University of Westminster, after realising that she had a passion for artificial intelligence and the world of technology. 

​

Realising the lack of diversity in her industry, she set out to redefine what the tech industry looks like. This was after seeing the lack of representation of black women in the tech space, as well as the gatekeeping of the industry in general. She has done this by speaking at numerous inclusion events, hosting events, speaking on radio, blogs, mentoring, creating content and sending resources weekly to help others on their journey.
