Obiora Okeke

I am a freshman at Columbia University in the school of Engineering and Applied Science, majoring in Computer Engineering, looking for an opportunity to grow and solidify my skillset as I enter the industry of technology. I have personal project experience with Python, Java, and Arduino. I also have industry experience with JavaScript and Node.js.


Experience

Digital Engineer Intern

Revolt Media & TV

During this internship, I learned Javascript and node. I was able to deal with asynchronous code and callbacks, use npm packages in my code, make an HTTP request with authorization headers and query parameters, analyzed Google structures its Youtube Analytics API, and implement their library. With this, I created a way for them to access their YouTube views for the first 30 days of posting it and output the data into an Excel sheet for easier use.

July 2019 - August 2019

Software Developer

Senior Project

Used Python and Arduino to create a two tiered automated clothing rack that reinvents the way that you view your closet. The top rack holds all of your upperbody garments and the lower rack holds all of your lowerbody garments. The software would automatically pull weather data from the internet in order to present you with a cohesive and appropriate outfit for the day.
