Jayda Medina
Software Engineer
I’m a software engineer at The Walt Disney Company, previously working with ESPN and currently working with National Geographic. In 2021, I received my BA in Computer Science from the University of Rochester. Software engineering is my craft, and I seek out every opportunity that I can to practice. When I’m not working, I am playing Magic the Gathering or participating in Live Action Roleplay. I have experience with making websites from the ground up, as well as using tools like WordPress or Umbraco. I also have working knowledge of app development using Android Studio and Kotlin. I love learning about new tools for development and making the web more accessible.
