I love to program, and I love teaching. After 7 years as a Bioinformatics Scientist at a biotech in San Diego, California, I’m excited to be here at BYU. I love this school and I believe strongly in its mission. My wife and I have three young children, and my family is a delight in my life. Stop by my office and say hi!

Hey! I am a sophomore from Chile and am currently studying Applied Math with an emphasis on Economics. I served my mission in Goiânia Brasil. I love listening to folk music, watching soccer, and playing Risk. I took my first-ever programming course here at BYU and found it absolutely fascinating. I am excited to meet and help all of you!

Hi! I am a sophomore from Massachusetts studying Applied Math. I was previously a microbiology major, but taking cs110 last semester was a huge reason as to why I switched! I am looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible!

Howdy! I’m from Richland Washington and a junior in the CS program. I love how coding is a skill that can be applied to basically any project. My biggest motivator for learning programming is how it enables me to tackle evermore ambitious personal projects, so I hope you find a way to apply what you are learning too!
