Marc Farra has joined the Development Seed team. Marc loves to experiment with image processing, arduino sensors, and data infrastructure. He is going to help us explore new ways to collect and process data.

I first ran into Marc in Beirut. At the time he was running Lamba Labs, a hacker space in Beirut that was sowing the seeds of Maker culture and open data advocacy in Lebanon. A year later, he took the Afghanistan polling station locations we posted on Github and started to build a mobile app for Afghans to locate their nearest polling station.

Say “Hello”, “Salut”, or “Marhaba” to Marc on Twitter and Github.
