About: Hi, I'm a (relatively new) teaching professor at the Allen School and am looking forward to teach CSE 331 for the first time this quarter! Outside of thinking about software design & implementation (always a pleasure!), I've recently enjoyed Equus Asinus by Men I Trust, Gabriel García Márquez's No One Writes to the Colonel, and Bong Joon Ho's new movie Mickey 17. Incredibly excited to meet all of you - don't be a stranger!
