I'm super delighted to be co-teaching this course with my friend and colleague, the amazing Justin Yokota. I'm passionate about our new "A's for All" initiative that we want to start sweeping the world. On the fun side, I can play 20+ songs on the harmonica (but they all end up sounding like "Piano Man"), juggle 5 balls, score in the low 90s on the links, spin things on my finger, and recite all the words to many old-school raps, stand-up comedy bits and Monty Python sketches. I also have a collection of several hundred game and puzzle books, and terribly enjoy sharing good brain teasers or playing any one of my many exotic board games with students in my GamesCrafters group. Don't get me started telling jokes...

Hi All! I'm Justin (he/him), one of the co-instructors for 61B and 61C this semester. As an undergraduate, I did a double math/CS major, and completed a fifth-year masters in a parallel computing project (all at Berkeley). I additionally worked as a TA for nine semesters, with a focus on exam writing.

Outside of work, I spend most of my time playing Celeste (Winter Collab is brutal) and solving/writing puzzles as part of BMT and teammate.
