Hello, my name is Michael Ukoha. I am currently an Associate Functional Consultant at Oracle NetSuite. I graduated from the Univeristy of Texas at Dallas in the Spring of 2023, earning my Bachelor's in Computer Science. In my free time, I love to compose and produce music, learn new instruments, lift weights, and go for walks.
I'm excited to share my ideas and skills with the world!

In the Fall of 2021, a group of 3 Computer Science students and I proposed a redesign of the UT Dallas mobile application that more efficiently provided students and faculty with essential resources, such as study rooms, campus currency balances, and volunteering opportunities on and near campus, to which we also presented a mock-up and recommendation. This redesign very closely resembled the eventual official overhaul of the application months later.
In the Fall of 2022, I created a website to serve as both a visual representation of my accolades, but as a way to increase my proficiency with HTML and CSS and dip my toes in the field of Web Design & Development. While working on this project, I increased my knowledge about web security, making this site HTTPS encrypted, while familiarizing myself with GitHub Pages, the host for this page. In addition, I created a mobile version for this page, making it accessible for all modern devices. A link to the repository will be included below.

Our platform streamlined the connection between students and tutors, allowed them to book appointments on Microsoft Teams and have notifications for their call be emailed to them, utilized Auth0's user authentication features, and stored all appointment, student, and tutor information in a Mongo database. Through this project, we honed our front-end design skills, developed good back-end design practices, and increased our API implementation proficiencies.
