Hi, I’m Brett! I grew up outside of Boston, MA and moved to Seattle after college. I earned my B.A. in Computer Science from Harvard University and my M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction from UW. This is my eighth year teaching in the Allen School. Before I came here, I developed curriculum and trained teachers for Microsoft’s TEALS program, taught CS at Issaquah High School, and worked as a developer at Microsoft. Outside of teaching, I am a high school football official, a frequent volunteer at local FIRST Robotics events, and an avid board game and RPG player.

Hi y’all! I’m James. This is my first quarter at UW and my first autumn in Seattle. I grew up on the East Coast, but went to college in California, where I studied computer science and data science at UC Berkeley.

I recently finished my M.S. in Computer Science at Virginia Tech, where my research focused on AI ethics and policy, including AI regulation and AI ethics education. I started teaching my junior year of college and was immediately hooked! I love teaching introductory courses, as well as computing ethics courses like CSE 480.

In my free time, I love to travel (recent highlights include Vietnam, Peru, and South Africa), cook (check out some of my recent food adventures here), and play Minecraft (my current survival world is 3 years old). Stop by my office to say hi sometime!
