👋 Hi my name is Hyojin Yoo.

I’m a software engineer
with a background in
interactive art.

As an immigrant and queer person, I am empathetic to the needs of diverse communities and committed to making technology more inclusive and approachable.

Drawing from my experience in the arts, I excel in communicating complex ideas in a way that is not only fun and engaging but also intriguing and interesting. I aim to create innovative solutions that tackle technical challenges while also bringing joy and enhancing people's lives.

Education & Experiance

I have a certificate in software engineering from the Flatiron School and a M.F.A in Digital Media from the Rhode Island School of Design. I have experience working on freelance web development projects for a range of clients. As I currently search for the right full time opportunity I am completing a M.S in Data Analysis and Visualization at CUNY, NYC.
