Getting Help¶
If you have a general question that other students could potentially benefit from, considering posting on Ed! On Ed, you can also set your questions to private or anonymous as you see appropriate.
For logistical questions (such as extenuating circumstances and DRS accommodations), posting privately on Ed is the best way to ensure that you will receive a response in time and lets TAs follow up for you. For sensitive situations, you can also email Kasey and the Head TAs directly if you would feel more comfortable (please use your university email for all correspondence).
We are often available at other times by appointment, and we encourage you to schedule 1:1 appointments whenever you want to talk about concepts, grades, internships, or anything else.
Instructor¶
Hey all, I’m Kasey. I was born just outside Vancouver, Canada. Moved to the Bay Area when I was 11 months old and then to Seattle when I was 7, so I’m about as “west coast” as they come. I went to UW for undergrad where I studied Electrical Engineering (embedded systems), but TA‘d for CS for 9 quarters, so I decided to do software engineering post-graduation.
I’ve worked at Microsoft, a start up called Karat and now I’m at Google. I taught high school computer science on top of my day job for 7 years and I am passionate about making tech industry opportunities available for everyone. Feel free to setup time if you ever want to chat careers in tech.
Favorite springtime drink: matcha.
