Hi, my name is
I'm a computer science student at Georgia Tech specializing in AI and internetworks.
Check out my work!01. About Me
Hello! My name is Connor Mcilhinney and I enjoy building products or things that make the lives of others easier. My interest in computer science started back in 2019 when I decided to learn how to code in the car while my mom drove me to soccer practice!
Fast-forward to today, and I've had the privilege of working at various companies. My main focus these days is building accessible, inclusive products and digital experiences for a variety of clients.
Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
- AWS
- PostgreSQL
- YOLOv8
- Django
- Retool
- N8N
