/============\ | Homework 0 | \============/ Name: Jay Patel E-mail: patel.jay@berkeley.edu Mini-Biography: ============== --> Where did you grow up? What was your academic path? (e.g. Did you live in the same town all your life or did you move around; and if so, where? Did you go to community college or another school before this one?) I grew up in a small town outside of Scranton, PA (home of the TV show "The Officeā€¯). It's about two hours away from Philadelphia and New York City. I came to Cal from high school, and am now in my third year here. --> How much programming have you done (and what languages)? My first CS class was AP Computer Science in high school. I have the most experience in Python, Java, and HTML/CSS. I'm interested in learning more web dev using the MEAN (Mongo, Express, Angular, Node) stack and mobile dev. --> What are your hobbies? What are some of your talents and skills? I like to play tennis and casually ski. My favorite TV shows are 24 and Suits. I also like following current events in tech, like on HackerNews. --> Have you done anything remarkable? Has anything really memorable happened to you? (e.g. travel, meeting famous people, 15 min of fame, inventions, overcoming adversity, etc.) I got to shake then Senator Obama's hand when he came to a rally in Scranton in 2008. I also once got a picture with Mark Zuckerberg. --> What commitments will be consuming your cycles this term? (e.g. classes, jobs, family, commutes, volunteering, sports, student groups, etc.) In addition to TAing, I'm also taking some classes and will be doing research in the CITRIS Data and Democracy department for the California Report Card (check out www.californiareportcard.org).
