Instructor
Omar Ibrahim he/they
Hey y'all, I'm Omar. I'm Egyptian-American and I grew up in the Tri-Cities, Washington. I recently graduated from UW with my B.S. in Computer Science. I spent about 3 years of my undergrad as a Teaching Assistant teaching Computer Science classes, mostly 142, so I'm really psyched to be teaching it this summer! I'm very passionate about CS education and ethics research, and I'm happy to talk about either anytime! Outside of academia, I love music (playing, writing, listening; all of it), playing video games (really big into Hades right now), watching anime, and cooking, among other things. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of y'all!

Hi I'm Joe! I'm a rising senior studying CS and Chinese, and I'll also be the head TA for 142 this summer. I was born in Korea but lived in England most of my life. I moved to Seattle for college and fell in love with the PNW! When I'm not working I love spending time outdoors hiking, climbing, doing photography, playing guitar and video games. If you have any questions about the course please feel free to email me, I'm super excited to work with all of you this summer :)

Ray He they/them
I'm a rising senior from Bellevue, WA in my 11th quarter of TAing this awesome course. I'll be working on the grading team behind the scenes, so you won't see me in section. Outside of my TAing duties I split a lot of time between studying consumer electronics and developing niche tech solutions for problems that I created. I also really enjoy tutoring maths and sciences to middle schoolers and high schoolers, which is what originally led me to begin TAing at the Allen School.
