Morgan Belkadi: Developer

Morgan is a French developer who has always been passionate about mobile technology. Raised and educated near Nice in the south of France, he volunteered with the fire and paramedic service while at university. He joined FrontlineSMS after moving to London in early 2010. He loves music, cinema and football, which may be why he joined the project. Or not.

A documentary filmmaker, Sarah first learned about FrontlineSMS when she was researching a film about the impact of mobile phones in Africa. She also works as a feedback and media coordinator for Ushahidi. She lives in the mountains of Southern California and still intends to make a film about “Mobilizing the Masses.”

She is also a trustee of the Warwickshire Domestic Violence Support Service; a supporter of the Downing Street Project; and writes and thinks about the health rights of Gypsies and Travellers in the UK.
