About Me

Hi! I'm Joel E. Louis-Ugbo, a Computer Science student at Georgia Tech with a 3.7 GPA, graduating in May 2027. I'm passionate about building scalable software solutions that merge technical excellence with creative innovation.

Currently, I'm a Software Engineer Intern at Humana Government Business, where I modernize enterprise applications using ASP.NET and C#. I also serve as Lead Student Assistant at Georgia Tech's Office of Student Achievement, where I led the migration of a platform from Next.js to Django, improving UX by 40%.

My technical expertise spans full-stack development (React, Next.js, Django, Spring Boot), cloud technologies (Azure, AWS, Docker), and creative tools (Adobe Creative Suite). I've built systems serving thousands of users, from an academic planner adopted by Georgia Tech serving 45,000+ students to e-commerce platforms with optimized microservices architectures.

I bring a unique blend of technical depth and creative problem-solving, with experience leading teams and delivering high-impact solutions. Whether it's reducing response times from 3.2s to 800ms or implementing ML recommendation engines with 80% accuracy, I focus on creating exceptional digital experiences that scale.
