Product-minded engineering with strong UI instincts.
Software engineer and UW-Madison student

I build polished software with real product sense.

I'm Connor Furby, a computer science student at UW-Madison building full-stack and AI-powered products through internships, leadership roles, and independent projects. I care most about software that feels sharp, useful, and considered.

SlideCentral

A full-stack platform for creating, managing, and distributing slide content across school clubs and activities.

Why it stands out

A longer-form team build that balanced full-stack delivery, role-based access, and content automation.

Key Contributions10 media items
  • Built the platform across four Agile sprints over seven months with a small development team.
  • Implemented Google OAuth and dynamic role-based dashboards for administrators, teachers, and student leaders.
  • Created club and activity workflows that turned structured form inputs into ready-to-display slide content.
  • Designed media-forward viewing experiences, including carousels and fullscreen presentation behavior.
  • Worked through sprint planning, retrospectives, and iterative delivery to keep the product moving from concept to completion.

Internships, work, and volunteering in motion

Scroll through one role at a time. Each lane reveals left to right so the section feels more like a product narrative than a list of resumes.

Internships

Product-building roles where I worked inside real teams, real constraints, and live delivery cycles.
