Our Unique Approach
Valyria is a software studio that grew out of a collaboration between Lorenzo Barberis Canonico and Yan Chen, and it has a unique mission: to turn the contract work opportunities that come our way into part-time jobs and real-world experience to college students studying computer science, many of whom Lorenzo has previously coached in Speech & Debate.
