Think of an Android expert. Why do you consider this person an expert? “She knows a lot about Android”, you say. But how do you know? You know because she shares her knowledge, through blogs, talks, StackOverflow etc.Experts are just that, people who share their knowledge. Sharing puts you in a positive feedback loop: the more you share, the more knowledgeable you become. Let me walk you through some concrete steps you can take to start sharing and build up your expertise.
Nathan Eagle is the CEO and co-founder of Jana, the largest provider of free Internet in emerging markets. Born out of his time as a Fulbright professor in Kenya, Nathan began Jana from the insight that smartphones can be used not only for global communication, but also data sponsorship. He founded Jana with a simple, yet powerful mission—to make the Internet free for the next billion. Nathan saw first-hand how affordable mobile data empowers users in these markets through his work teaching app development at the University of Nairobi, Kenya. It was there that Nathan and his students created an SMS system that became the technical infrastructure of Jana. Nathan realized that the sponsored-data model can both power smartphones and empower users. Nathan graduated from Stanford University with a B.S. in mechanical engineering and master’s degrees in management science and engineering and electrical engineering. His Ph.D. from the MIT Media Laboratory on Reality Mining was declared one of the “10 technologies most likely to change the way we live” by the MIT Technology Review. He was also named a Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum in 2014.
