Hi, I'm Derrick Louis|

About Me
I'm a fourth-year Computer Science student at Georgia Tech with a strong foundation in software development and problem-solving. I love building innovative solutions and exploring new technologies. When I'm not coding, you can find me playing sports, participating in hackathons, or learning random useless tech facts. I'm actively seeking software engineering opportunities where I can contribute my skills and continue growing as a developer. I want to ensure the work I do is innovative and pushes both the world and whoever's mission I'm a part of forward.
