Bio

I am a current undergraduate student at Northwestern University, majoring in computer science in the engineering school. I also identify as a Nigerian-American, and I am from Atlanta, Georgia. Although I still have much to learn, I am a problem-solver. Whether it's solving challenging programming assignments or writing a persuasive essay, I persevere through challenges and try to see challenges as an opportunity to grow, and develop my skills. At the same time, I think that some would describe me as patient, calm, and easygoing, despite my shyness. I look forward to being able to create software or technology that makes a positive and practical impact on others. Whether it's in the healthcare industry or food sector, I want to develop software that benefits others.
