Hi, I’m Daniel Ngounou, a software engineer and UI/UX designer who loves turning complex ideas into intuitive digital experiences. I bring together frontend development and user-centered design to build tools that students and professionals enjoy using. I’m curious, collaborative, and always eager to learn new technologies and design systems. Currently pursuing a BASc in Software Engineering at the University of Ottawa, I’ve shipped and redesigned platforms like HEALTHNET for a hospital complex and led onboarding and navigation improvements at UoSwap, boosting sign-ups and campus adoption. I’m excited to continue building impactful software, mentoring peers, and working across product, design, and engineering teams.
