Hi, my name is

Allena Oglivie

Junior @ UC Berkeley Computer Science

I advocate for accesiblity and representation in the tech industry and education world.

My Story

My passion for Computer Science, technology, Graphic Design, and ML/AI all started with a love for video games. I've been playing games since I was a kid, and I've always been fascinated by the technology that powers them. As an Afro-Latina, I continue to push for representation in the tech industry and education world. For I too was once a kid who experieced the lack of representation and accesiblity to tech and education.

My goal is to always build projects that provide accessible and inclusive experiences that puts a smile on people's faces!

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:

  • JavaScript (ES6+)
  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Node.js
  • Next.js
  • Python
