Kumusta! My name's JC, which stands for Joshua Caleb (not Jesus Christ).
When I have downtime I like jamming with my ukulele/piano, unreservedly
trying all kinds of new foods, hoarding free swag, and spontaneously
hanging out with friends. I'm always down to chat about CS, learn
something in your native language, or share my favorite places to eat good
food!

Hello friends! I'm a third year and I decided to study computer science
because of CS61B. Outside of school, I enjoy learning how to cook, going

mind!

Hey! Call me Alex. I enjoy introspecting, listening to people, consuming
good stories, exploring, board games, and jamming on Spotify. My
stretch goal is to have the ability to fly, but I might have to settle for
some form of telekinesis or teleportation. You may find me wearing a straw
hat. Also, I'm a nice person, I swear.

Hello! I'm a senior CS major and Stats minor from the distant town of
Fremont, California. In my free time, I enjoy running, playing soccer, and
most recently, rock climbing. I also love playing Melee, though I'm not
very good. I've liked the majority of the CS classes that I've taken here,
but 61B is definitely at the top of the list. I hope you enjoy it too!

HI! I'm a 3rd year in BioE & EECS! I really, really enjoy pastel colors
(mmm mint, lavender, coral) and Oolong (it's a luscious boba flavor
spelled with quite a handsome permutation of English letters!). Come find
me and we can develop these theories some more! (or we can talk about data
structures too I guess hehe.)

I'm Sam, a 3rd year CS major who is excited to be teaching again! I've lab

it hard to say where I'm from since I've moved from China -> South

and now here in Berkeley! Things I enjoy include: trying new foods, taking
nice hikes, any games - board or video, and cooking slightly above
mediocre dishes for friends and family. Feel free to introduce yourself
and ask me anything :D

Hi y'all -- I'm Max and I'm a third year CS major from the Boston area. I
am hopelessly dependent on coffee, trying new foods and am almost always
listening to music (anything but country!). I haven't fully decided on an
area of CS but as of right now I'm interested in security and networking.
Outside of CS I'm very into dancing, and you can almost always catch me
in Esh practicing for a dance team. If any of this interests you (or even
if not, really), feel free to reach out to me! :)

Hey everyone. My name is Matt and I am a second year Mechanical
Engineering → EECS major. I was born and raised in Maryland so shout out
to all the East Coasters (but I think we can all admit the weather here is
better). Anyways I like all kinds of weird stuff but some of my favorites
are photography, math, any and all food, skateboarding, and of course
memes. 61B is amazing so I can’t wait to work with and meet all of
you!

Hi! I'm a second year CS major : ). In my spare time, I like to read a bit
of manga, and I also play LoL every now and again when I feel the urge or
something cool comes out. A couple of weeks ago, I started watching the
show Shark Tank off of random YouTube clips, and I've been marathoning
those since. I'm looking forward to meeting all of you and don't feel
intimidated to ask me anything : )
