Oduah
Computer Science graduate and creative developer focused on human‑centered software.
I turn ideas into practical systems, spanning web apps, desktop tools, and applied machine learning.
ABOUT ME
I like building things that feel simple and work reliably. My approach blends design sense with engineering discipline: understand the user, trim the UI to the essentials, write clean code, and iterate until it feels right. Recent work spans computer vision, desktop tooling, and full‑stack web.

HOW I WORK
Plan and Model
Start with the user problem, sketch interfaces and data flows. Small diagrams save large refactors.
Build and Iterate
Ship the smallest useful version, get feedback, iterate with discipline so the code stays tidy.
Measure and Polish
Metrics and real users drive the last mile, including performance and accessibility.
HIGHLIGHT PROJECTS
A few representative builds that show how I approach problems: clear goals, straightforward designs, and dependable results.
Zebrafish Brain Segmentation (U‑Net)
2025This work automates labeling of zebrafish brain structures in microscopy. I built a clear dataset (TIFF images paired with PNG masks), designed augmentations, and trained a U‑Net with ResNet‑34 encoder and ImageNet weights. The notebook focuses on transparent evaluation (Dice and IoU) and visual breakdowns of successes and failures so non‑ML collaborators can understand what the model is doing.
- Python
- PyTorch
- OpenCV
SUN Lab Access System
2024A desktop system that simulates a swipe‑card access flow with an operator‑friendly admin panel. Durable storage uses SQLite with explicit schemas, while the GUI emphasizes clarity under pressure with obvious controls, validations, and helpful messages.
- Python
- SQLite
- Tkinter
Maintenance Request Web App
2023A full workflow for reporting and tracking maintenance tasks. Users submit clear requests, admins triage and update statuses, and everyone sees a transparent history that reduces back‑and‑forth.
- HTML
- CSS
- PHP
- MySQL
