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 background empowers me to build applications that are not just functional, but also visually striking—a 'picture-perfect' blend of robust engineering and creative design. With a strong foundation in algorithms, data structures, and systems design, I'm driven to craft innovative and intuitive applications, whether I'm building responsive user interfaces, robust backend services, or seamless mobile experiences.
