About: Hello, friends! I'm a new grad of the UW CSE BS/MS program, a long-time 331 TA, and a first-time 331 instructor. I am very excited to get to know all of you, and help you learn some topics that I think are so 🆒 and essential this quarter. Though I usually live and breathe 331, I do also enjoy cooking and baking, reading, and hiking. You'll find this course has many mottos, but my personal one is just "communicate," so never hesitate to reach out if you need some support or if you just want to chat!
