Social enterprise designing income-boosting products for rural Myanmar farmers
Proximity Designs operates as a nonprofit social business focused on rural agricultural development in Myanmar, with a modest data stack (Power BI, Tableau, SQL, Python, R) that reflects early-stage analytics maturity. Current hiring concentrates in data and finance roles at junior-to-mid level, paired with active research into farming practices and digital engagement—signaling a shift toward data-informed product iteration and farmer behavior understanding rather than pure distribution scaling.
