WHERE DID YOU GROW UP? WHAT WAS YOUR ACADEMIC PATH?

I lived in the city of Jinan in Shandong province of China up until
when I was about 9 years old, when I moved to San Francisco. I've
been in the Bay Area ever since, so Cal was a convenient college for
me. I attended Lowell High School in SF before coming here.

HOW MUCH PROGRAMMING HAVE YOU DONE (& WHAT LANGUAGES)?

Eh. It's hard to quantify. I started taking some programming classes
towards the end of high school. It's hard to avoid doing much
programming since I am majoring in EECS after all... I'm not one of
those people who love to take up hobby programming projects in their
spare time, but I have done a fair amount outside of what's required
in my classes here for the past 2 and a half years. I've used various
languages in the past, Java probably the most, but if I had to pick
a favorite it'd be Python.

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?

Typical stuff. I enjoy film and literature, and of course, videogames
(though I find myself with less and less time to sit down and play
through a game for hours at a time). There was a time when I played
some badminton, but again, not much nowadays due to time constraints.
Randomly browsing the internet for oddities is something I do often.

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR TALENTS & SKILLS?

I'm a pretty boring person by most standards. I can't really think of
anything, but I'm pretty well-rounded and tend to do above average in
just about anything I try my hand at, despite that not being a skill. 

HAVE YOU DONE ANYTHING REMARKABLE? HAS ANYTHING MEMORABLE HAPPENED TO YOU?

No, see above.

WHAT COMMITMENTS WILL BE CONSUMING YOUR CYCLES THIS SEMESTER?

TAing, obviously. I'm also committed to 15+ hours a week for a part-
time internship at Sybase. I've been doing some research assistance
work for a grad student and will continue to, and maybe find other
research work. Classes are to be determined, I hope I can get in
CS270.
