OGBONNAYA C. NGWU

Software Engineer

BIOGRAPHY


I'm a senior undergraduate student majoring in Software Engineering at Florida Institute of Technology. I'm also minoring in Psychology and Computational Mathematics. I have an overwhelming passion in learning and teaching and I aspire to become a researcher and a college professor someday.

My great academic performances have earned me awards such as the Distinguished Student Scholar in my institution and as well earned me a seat among members of academic honor societies including Phi Kappa Phi, Upsilon Pi Epsilon, Tau Beta Pi, and Phi Eta Sigma.

I'm always amazed by how technology and design is changing our modern world. My major interest is in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Programming and problem solving are my primary hobbies. When I'm not doing any of those two, I'm playing tennis or reading a book.
