Tutor Biographies

Bing Xia
Bing is a 4th year Applied Math/MCB Computer Science triple major. His primary academic interest is computational biology and he hopes to pursue graduate studies in this field after he graduates. His hobbies include running, taekwondo, origami, computer games and piano.

Conor Hughes
Conor is a 3rd year EECS major. Conor's lived in the bay area for all of his life and in the East Bay for all but one year. His favorite Language is C. Bring him your C!

Courntey Wang
Courtney enjoys talking about himself in the third person and takes advantage of every opportunity to do so! He is a third year student here at Cal studying Applied Math and Computer Science. Outside of school and the selfpace center, Courtney enjoys punting kittens, organizing his massive Storm Trooper collection into various formations depending on his mood and collecting ties. His favorite language to tutor is scheme, but he prefers programming in Java or Python. Bring him anything though, he isn't picky :-)

Daren Hasenkamp

Eric Chang
I was born in Seattle WA but I lived in Taiwan for all my childhood years. I first started to program in high school and learned C++, Java then C. I learned C on my own because there's this USACO programming training Site that gives you assignments to code up, but it must run under ONE SECOND. I am currently a sophomore and this if my first time being a selfpace tutor-I will be willing to help you with Java, Unix and C++. Enjoy your time at Selfpace center and don't wait until the end to do everything and make us both miserable. Have fun programming!

Eric Lin
The Eric Lin is a very rare species (of course there is only one). It can usually be seen lurking around the Self Paced center grading or poking fun at the random species that spend their time at SPC such as Thien or Eric Chang. It is a friendly species that loves to help others learn the best they can...unless of course ...you touch it's yummy Fredo...don't touch the Fredo!

Ethan Rahn
Once upon a time there was this plucky young lad named Ethan who learned Java. He took the AP test and saw that it was good, and learned scheme, C C++ python bash and other languages. He slew the dragon on Compliler Hill and defended Database Mountain against the evil warload Concurrency Errors. He is rumored to also study the secret adn mystical arts of Mathematics, but this is dismissed by many as wives tale.

Fernando Garcia Bermudez
I am an EECS grad student working in Robotics at the Biomimetic Millisystems Lab under Prof Ron Fearing. I was born in Patchogue, NY and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina where my family is from. I have a BS in Aerospace Engineering from Florida Tech. My interests outside of school include hiking, watching movies from around the world, reading and writing short stories, hand drumming, training karate and hanging out with friends and my incredible wife whom I miss right this moment. I'll be able to help you with C, C++ Matlab, Python and Unix.

Getty Ritter
Linguist, computer scientist, lucubrator (in every sense of the word) he can be guaranteed to be telling the truth except in the following situations, A: if the matter at hand is controversial B: the weather happens to be remarkable at the time or C: Other

Himanshu Sharma

Kathy Bedrosian

Kevin Jorgensen
I am a second year Computer Science (L&S) and Math intended double major. My favorite programming language is probably python (which I learned at the selfpace center!) But I also know Scheme, self taught Java and Objective-C. I'm currently working on a unit conversion application for the iphone (hence the Objective C) and hope to have it ready for release on the App store toward the end of the semester

Sriram Sankararaman

Thien Nguyen

Will Cole
Will Cole was born in the computer lab in Soda, so naturally he was raised by wolves who happened to be passing through. When not tutoring for the Self-Paced Center, he likes to spend his time thinking about tutoring at the Self-Paced Center. Ultimately, in true Turing fashion, his dream is to never achieve his dream.

Ye Yuan
Ye started to learn programming and English speaking at the same age! Wow! Just to clarify, he started to speak English at Fall 08. He's a second year Applied Math/CS double major with wide interests excluding going to lectures (there's exceptions)> His current non academic interest is to catch up with more slang so that he won't get scared when people say "ride gun shot"

Manager Carol Marshall
Carol has been called the "duct tape that keeps the selfpace center together" a title she is proud of! She loves meeting all the students and staff each year and getting to know what the latest generation is all about. When not on campus Carol is into theater, including working for the California Shakespeare Theater, and also writing and directing shows for local fringe festivals. She also enjoys cooking, nature hikes and noting the often funny and bizarre Opera that is our day to day lives!

Front desk Co-Pilot Work-Study Ashley Sorgi
Ashley Sorgi is from Southern California. She is graduating in December with a B.A. in Anthropology and Global Poverty and Practice. She enjoys traveling, abstract art, Indian food, Beat Poetry and large cups of coffee. If she had a dog it would be a tea cup Pomeranian named Whisky Marx.
