About Me

My name is Peter Njoroge, I am a Freshman Computer Engineering student at the University of Maryland, College Park, enrolled in the James A. Clark School of Engineering and the University Honors College. I have a strong passion for software engineering and am eager to pursue a career in this field. Outside of the classroom, I am extremely passionate for community service and am eager to give back. My long-term goal in tech is to create opportunities for the less fortunate to gain experience in technology, computer science specifically. Currently, I am actively seeking internship opportunities in software engineering roles.
