Rome wasn't built in a day

Biography

My name is Olivier John Nzia and I'm a software engineer. I'm pursuing my bachelors in Computer Science (with a software concentration) at Northeastern University.

I love to build things and I do so with a passion. I believe anything worthwile requires dedication, effort, and time, because Rome wasn't built in a day. Plan, Build, Test, and when you're done, iterate and repeat.

I'm currently looking for a full-time co-op/internship for Spring/Summer 2024 so if you're interested in working with me, feel free to reach out!

On another note, I'm a standup comedian on the side, a gym rat, and a One Piece fanatic.
