Bio

Hi, my name is Uzochi! For me, computer science isn’t just about coding or building products. It’s the key to unlocking the solutions to so many problems. It’s a tool that almost anyone can weild. What I love about computer science is the focus on problem solving and creative thinking. Within the field of computer science, I’m mostly interested in data science, interaction design, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence. I would love working with data and using data to build better AI systems to aid in improving digital privacy and protection, especially for girls and women like me who are very vulnerable to cyber crimes.
