I'm Calvin Akpunku, a Computer Science student at Louisiana State University concentrating in Software Engineering, graduating December 2027.

I have a strong foundation in Java, Python, and C, with hands-on experience building simulations, games, and algorithmic systems from the ground up.

I'm a Dean's List honoree, a member of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), and a Google-certified Python developer. Actively seeking internships where I can grow as an engineer and build things that matter.
