Maja Kozlowska

Computer Engineering student at Michigan Technological University (Class of 2026) with a strong interest in building practical, user-focused technology. My studies have developed my skills in software engineering, REST APIs, Git, and system design, preparing me for real-world engineering challenges. As a Software Engineering Intern at Xopero Software, I worked on C#/.NET backend services, SQL databases, and system integrations used by over 1,500 customers worldwide. This experience strengthened my ability to write reliable code, collaborate in Agile teams, and deliver production-ready features. I balance a demanding engineering major with Division II athletics as a scholarship basketball player, which has shaped me into a disciplined, resilient, and team-oriented individual. Fluent in English and Polish, I enjoy working in diverse, fast-paced environments and am passionate about the intersection of software, hardware, and innovative digital solutions.
