About Me
👋 Hi, I'm Jephthah Chukwu, a Computer Science student at The University of Texas at Arlington, passionate about building efficient, user-friendly software that solves real-world problems.
I'm currently honing my skills in Python, Java, and web development while gaining hands-on experience through academic projects and personal learning. I've also built and troubleshot PCs from scratch, worked in IT support, and collaborated on an AI-powered resume analyzer project, giving me a strong foundation in both software and hardware.
🔧 Technical Interests
- Software Engineering and Web Development
- AI and Natural Language Processing
- Cloud Computing (currently exploring Oracle → Azure → AWS)
- Building practical tools that improve productivity
💼 Currently seeking Software Engineering Internship opportunities where I can contribute to real development teams, continue learning from experienced engineers, and grow into a strong developer.
🏐 Beyond the Code
Outside of tech and school, I enjoy playing volleyball and basketball, as well as going on spontaneous adventures. Whether it's trying something new or exploring unfamiliar places, I like staying active and open to new experiences.
Fun Fact: I've built multiple PCs from scratch and love the satisfaction of solving both hardware and software challenges! 🖥️✨
Let's connect! 🤝
