I am Nikos, a faculty at Brown CS. When not traveling around the world to preach the gospel of distribution in its many forms, you'll find me in CIT. I love mixing consistency guarantees with JavaScript semantics—what could go wrong?
OH: Wed 2–3pm @ CIT 555 & Zoom

Hi! I'm Spandan, a senior studying CS from the Chicagoland area. Outside of the CIT, you'll find me restaurant hunting, studying poker theory, or at a concert. I love reading post-mortems of crazy distributed system meltdowns!
OH: TBD @ Zoom.

Greetings! I'm Vagos, first-year PhD working with Nikos. I come from Athens, Greece. In my free time I like making beats and music playlists. Building a distribution layer on top of an existing operating system is very exciting to me! Take CS1380 to find out more!
OH: TBD.

Hey guys, I am Bohdan, senior from Ukraine. I play volleyball and have a weakness for good chocolate. When I am not fighting with Windows code setup, I like to binge Netflix and play video games. My favorite distributed systems fact is that our own computers are themselves distributed systems!

Hi, I'm Jerry, and I'm a junior in APMA-CS. I'm from Palo Alto, CA, and when I'm not working on programming side projects, I enjoy biking, playing board games, or speedcubing. My favorite distributed systems algorithm is consistent hashing, which seems like magic when you learn about it!
OH: TBD.
