New research powered by WorldPop open data reveals 63M women across 34 African countries will miss all essential maternal care by 2025.

Using 1km² geospatial modelling and building footprint data, the VeriXiv preprint exposes stark inequalities - from 5% in #Malawi to 74% in #Chad - and highlights a largely invisible priority population.

Hello #Fediverse! Time for a proper #Introduction.

I’m a hobbyist developer and engineer (outside the tech industry) who loves building tools for education and personal use. I’m currently focused on:

🐍 #Python & #Django – Working through a 30-day library challenge right now!

💻 #Linux – Running #Fedora on my System76 laptop.

🏠 #HomeLab – Managing an #OpenMediaVault setup on a Ugreen DXP2800, plus lots of #Docker and #Portainer tinkering.

🗺️ #Geospatial – Exploring data science projects.

Current Projects:

DITS: A custom issue tracker application.

Devnexus: A lite weight TUI issue and pull request application

mgl_website: My MickGeekLabs.org website and blog

Byte_Board_Blog: My personal blog project.

Pushing code to my local #Gitea (MickGeekLabs) and GitHub.

When I’m not debugging, I’m likely hanging out with my 16-year-old ginger tabby cat. 🐈

Looking forward to connecting with the #SelfHosted, #Python, and #Dev community here!
