Instructors
Hi! This is my second semester as a teaching professor at UC Berkeley, and I spent my first semester with many of you in 61A. I loved serving as a GSI for this class, CS61B, back when I was a graduate student at Berkeley, and I’m excited to be returning. Before becoming a professor, I built software designed to run on thousands of machines. I liked the software engineering challenges of balancing high performance with code that’s easy to understand and debug. In my free time, you can find me at Crossfit, on a hike, or wrangling my 3 children.

Hi CS 61B! My name’s Sam, I’m a junior studying Data Science and English, and I’m thrilled to be one of your tutors for Spring 2026! I’m from LA, so I love talking about recent movies, TV shows, and videogames (anyone 100% Silksong?). If you can’t find me at Office Hours, I’m probably climbing at Mosaic or studying in Doe. I know CS 61B can be a daunting course, it certainly was when I took it, but that’s what staff is here for! Please reach out to me or my fellow staff members (through appropriate channels of course lol) if you ever feel you have any kind of issue. This stuff is tough, but you can do tough things!
