About

Hello, I'm Mya 👋🏽

I’m a recent summa cum laude Computer Science graduate from DePaul University, with a minor in Visual Effects. This unique combination of technical expertise and creative training allows me to craft solutions that are both powerful and visually compelling. In addition to a strong foundation in algorithms, data structures, and systems design, I bring hands-on experience in video editing, motion graphics, and visual effects, giving me the ability to create applications, media, and experiences that are not only functional, but also immersive and engaging. Whether I’m building responsive user interfaces, robust backend systems, seamless mobile experiences, or cinematic visuals, I’m driven by a passion for innovation and storytelling through technology.
