CSE 142B, Spring 2022: Course Staff

Hi there, I'm Ana! For starters, the puppy in the picture is not mine :( although I do have the best cat in the world. Her name is Cream, but we call her Metz, and a good chunk of my Snapchat memories is just Metz videos. Taylor Swift saved my 2020-2021 with folklore (AOTY!!!), evermore, Fearless (Taylor's Version) and most recently Wildest Dreams (Taylor's Version) and I am counting down the days until Red (Taylor's Version) is out (November 12th mark your calendars). To anticipate any "it sounds the same" comments, I will point you to this tweet: https://twitter.com/alexandergold/status/1439297889126080513?s=21

Hi, my name is Poojitha! I'm a sophomore studying Computer Science and Mathematics. I grew up in Mukilteo, WA, just outside of the Seattle area.

Let's have a great time this quarter in CSE 142!

Hi I'm Andrew! I'm a sophomore studying to be a computer engineer. A couple hobbies I enjoy are running and chess, but I'm really spontaneous so I'm always down to try new things. I've lived in many places all around the world, so if you ask me where I'm from, I'll probably answer differently every time. Looking forward to making sure 142 is as fun as possible this quarter :)

Hi everyone! I'm Andrew, a fourth-year majoring in CS. This is my 10th time TAing 142! At UW, I spend a pretty big chunk of my time doing research and working on making this class better! Outside of those activities, I like to draw, talk about music, and play games! Right now I'm trying to run through a catalog of media that I've been meaning to get to. Specifically, I'm listening to the new Weeknd album and playing through Metroid Prime 2!

I'm also curious about a lot of stuff, so HMU if you want to talk about anything!

I have over 50 carnivorous plants and I'm super excited to show it to anyone who's interested!!!
