Denys Tsinyk

I’m a CS major at Pitt and enjoy building cool things, both physical and software-based. When I’m not building something, I’m usually playing video games or doing something that gets me far away from my laptop.

About

CS major at the University of Pittsburgh. I TA and peer tutor for Data Structures & Algorithms, and I am a 2x Executive Director of SteelHacks. I am also a former officer of PittCSC.

I grew up loving technology, started coding in high school, and eventually followed that interest into computer science in college. Since then, I have especially enjoyed working in security and safety, including work at the NFL and Character.AI.
