Enjoining our morning coffee, we rarely think about the journey that coffee beans make to end up in our cup. Even more rarely do we associate coffee and the energy boost that it brings with artificial intelligence. My guest in this episode is Darina Onoprienko, the founder and CEO of Agrivero.ai. It's a technology company that develops solutions for quality control and traceability of green coffee and other agricultural products.  

Topics we discuss:  

• Quality control in the coffee industry, its importance, bottle necks and the role of computer vision in this area. 
• Darina's founder journey where a European woman with no degree in computer science travels to Colombia to ideate and build an AI-based solution for the coffee industry. 
• Fears, imposter syndrome, and the emotional amplitude that is a part of a founder experience.
