Hi, all! I’m Sarah, and very excited to be joining y’all for an in-person course this semester! Swing by office hours if you want to chat about compilers, programming languages, career stuff, research stuff, whatever random CS topics are on your mind. I’ve also been hanging around Berkeley off and on since about 2012, so swing by office hours if you want recs for tasty vegan food in the area. :) I’m very much looking forward to teaching this course and can’t wait to get started. Feel free to reach out with feedback about the course at any time—the whole course staff wants this to be an awesome experience for you. We have a lot of fun playing with compilers, and we think you might too! :)

Hey folks, I’m Parker and I’m thrilled to work with you this semester as one of your GSIs! My research focuses on applying techniques from programming languages and human-computer interaction to design and build new tools for analyzing and visualizing geospatial data. I also spent five years working as a software engineer before starting my Ph.D. at Berkeley. Come drop by office hours to chat compilers, maps, web dev, data viz, the NYT crossword, or whatever else is on your mind!

Hi everyone! I’m Justin, and I’m super excited to be one of your GSIs this semester!

Hi everyone, I’m Bryan! This class was an amazing experience last year and I hope to make it one for you all as well. I’m currently with the SLICE lab working on HAMMER, so if you have any questions feel free to ask. Otherwise, I dabble in many parts of nerd culture, from comics to mechanical keyboards!
