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
