Michael Kurilko
Marist CS student, founder of Mythron LLC, and backend developer intern at IBM.
I’ve been obsessed with how things work since I was a kid, a passion that has evolved from a hobby into a career. Currently, I’m a CS student at Marist University and a Backend Intern at IBM, where I’m honing my skills in building systems that are as efficient as they are functional. Whether I’m tackling full-stack projects or experimenting with AI, I love solving tough problems with creative solutions. Outside of coding, you’ll likely find me playing guitar or piano, painting, or exploring how new tech fits into our daily routines.
