CS373 Spring 2022: Varun Nayak

I was born in Boston Massachusetts but my family settled in Houston when I was 6 months old. I went

I attended UT Austin because I wanted to study computer science and immerse myself into tech and startup scene in Austin. I placed in the IBM Quantum Hackathon along with my teammates which was held by UT’s Quantum Collective Team. However, we unfortunately did not place in the global competition. I also was a teaching assistant for Dr. Shyamal Mitra’s CS 313E Elements of Software Design Course.

I am experienced with Haskell as well as object oriented programming. languages such as C++, Java and Python. I am interning this summer and am going to work again and learn technologies.

I have taken Professor Downing’s Object Oriented Programming and Generic Programming Course and really enjoy his teaching style. I also think that cold calling encourages me to pay attention.

This weekend I went to Zilker Park and thew a frisbee around. I also decided to venture out and try new coffeeshops such as Jo’s Coffee. I really liked it and I would recommend it for anyone who likes cold brews.
