Jake Shoudy
I graduated from University of Washington in 2015 with a degree in Computer Science. I’ve been a software engineer at Google Seattle ever since working on Cloud UI widgets, Google Maps user generated content, and now Google Maps basemap data quality (everything related to roads & buildings). This semester, I’m taking time off of my day job to teach this class full-time as a part of Google’s GIR program. We have partnered with Fisk for many years now (7?) and I am so excited to be here!
Fisk Teaching Assistants
Aman Singh
Hi Everyone, I’m Aman, originally from Nepal, currently a junior majoring in Computer Science. I want to be a TA for this class because I enjoy helping people learn as well as growing with them in the process.
Aminu Abdusalam
I am Aminu, a Senior and CS major from Nigeria. Technology should be inclusive and welcoming for all; thus, I hope to build, leverage, integrate, and continually improve the tech to solve problems and create experiences that everyone can cohabitate safely. I am a TA to not only introduce students to CS but importantly offer proper career placement and counseling to gain clarity on merging their interests plus developing skills and exposure.
Angel Adetula
Hi, my name is Angel and I am a sophomore majoring in Biology and Data Science. I am excited to be your TA in this course because it was my favorite course from last fall, and I hope to help you all have a great experience in it as well. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or just for a casual chat!
Arun Giri
I am Arun, a junior majoring in Computer Science. I like to involve myself in sports such as Cricket, Soccer, and Table Tennis. One Fun Fact about me is I started my major as Chemistry and later changed to Computer Science.
I took my first ever GIR class in 2020 and it was one of the best experiences I ever had. Before this class, I had a very minimal experience with Programming and I was not very much confident that I would be able to do good in Computer Science but, my professor and my TA really helped me and this class really solidify my foundation in CS-related concepts. So, I would like to share my experiences, and learnings as a TA and at the same time, I look forward to learning from all of you.
I am very much open to conversations so you can reach me at any time and let us be connected on Linkedin. https://www.linkedin.com/in/arungiri12/
