At Tunga, a tech talent platform focused on linking African developers with international companies, Salako leads community development, developer engagement, and ecosystem growth initiatives. Her work supports software engineers across the continent in accessing remote jobs, building globally competitive skills, and participating in real-world international projects.

The platform provides developers with structured support, learning resources, and opportunities to collaborate with companies beyond Africa’s borders.
