Hello There!
I’m a Nigerian Sophomore Computer Science major at Alcorn State University who thrives in a fast-paced environment, so right now I’m looking for a chance to apply my experience and my strategic problem-solving skills. I love drawing, anime, and playing chess. My dream is to become a renowned software engineer
At the moment, I hold the post of the Communications and Marketing Manager for the African Students Association; this means a lot to me as I am a pioneer executive of the organization. Also, I am involved in the Honors Students Organization, National Society of Black Engineers, Alcorn Chess Club, Alcorn Robotics Club, Leetcode Practice Club and have been actively engaged in the Alcorn State University Honda Campus All-Star Challenge Quiz Bowl team.
My strongest programming language is JavaScript. I have created web applications using this language and it's frameworks. Recently, I participated in Google’s first ever Virtual Coding Challenge and although I could use either C++ or Python, I made sure to implement my code in JavaScript first then convert my “commented” pseudo-code to C++. I am comfortable with C++ and Python, but JavaScript is a language I feel most free with because it is my first programming language.

Some Designs by Me
Some of my design using Figma and Adobe applications.
Working Towards
Software Engineering
I believe Software Engineers are able to apply their skills to anything: health, education, music, finance, and so on.
Website Design
I have always loved art and designing on a computer. Designing websites help unleash my demons.
Machine Learning
Something I haven't really dived into, but am intrigued by. The idea of self-driving cars, computers playing chess, and brain controlled wheelchairs is mind-blowing.
Game Development
Seeing various programmers using various engines to create games pushes me to try to create mine. It takes commitment, but if they can do it, why can't I?
Application Development
Creating mobile and desktop applications that can help with daily problems is something on my bucket list.
Product Design
As an art lover, I love designing and currently use Figma to practice. My goal is to sell a design system to a top company.
