Michael Okpechi

came with some good news…

I officially became a Course Representative for MSc Computer Science (2025/2026) at Coventry University! 🙌

Basically, I get to speak on behalf of my classmates

making sure everyone’s concerns are heard,

sharing feedback with lecturers,

and working closely with the Student Union to improve our learning experience.

It’s one of those roles that remind you it’s not just about grades —
it’s about people.
The friendships, the conversations, and the little things that make the course better for everyone.

I’m honestly excited to meet more of my classmates,
understand what they need,
and represent us with pride. 💙

It’s Official, I’m now a Lead Organizer for GDG Coventry!

🤩🤩

Back in Nigeria, Google Developer Groups (GDG) was the place to be.

It shaped my journey, pushed my limits,

and helped me grow not just as a developer,

but as a leader and a community builder. 💡

Now, standing here in Coventry,
it feels like things have come full circle.

Because today, I get to continue that same mission 
to build, inspire, and empower developers right here in Coventry, UK. 🇬🇧

I’m officially stepping in as a GDG Lead Organizer for Coventry,

and I couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead.

A huge thank you to
Katya Vinnichenko (Program Manager & Regional Leader)
and Pauline Bonnin (Regional Lead & Regional Leader)

for seeing through the process and giving me the opportunity

to impact my local tech community through GDG. 🙏

Special shout-out to John Idogun

we’ve got big plans for GDG Coventry,
and this is just the beginning.
We’re only going to get bigger from here! 💪

Here’s to learning, growing, and giving back — together.

I’m officially a Higherin (Previously RMP Enterprise) Academy Multi-Employer Brand Ambassador 🚀

After submitting my application and video,
I honestly wasn’t sure how it would go but then I got the “You’ve smashed it!” email, and that line completely made my week. 😄

As a HigherIN Ambassador, I’ll be working with amazing employers and the student community to bridge the gap between students and real career opportunities. 💼

The goal is simple

help students discover the best graduate and internship programs out there,
connect them with employers who truly value talent,

and make sure no one misses the opportunities they deserve.

It feels great to represent my university,

to learn, connect, and make an impact

all while growing as a communicator and leader. 💙

I attended the The 10,000 Interns Foundation Milestone Event at the Emirates Stadium. 🏟️

You could feel the emotion in every story.
The energy in the room was unreal.

It wasn’t just another event.
It was a reminder of what opportunity truly looks like.

I listened to inspiring people who once had no clear path —
but through this program, found a way to build something meaningful.

I met amazing people, driven, humble, and full of purpose.
Everyone there was proof of what can happen when people are seen and supported.

I left motivated.
To keep going.
To keep growing.
To keep giving back.

Thank you to the 10,000 Black Interns Foundation for opening doors and creating hope for so many.
