Biography

Kyle Thayer is an Assistant Teaching Professor in the University of Washington Information School focusing on topics related to code, data, and information technology. He is a graduate of the鈥疨aul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington in Seattle. He has investigated the barriers faced by coding bootcamp students, the way culture influences debugging, and the knowledge programmers need to work with programming libraries. Before鈥痯ursuing his Ph.D., Kyle earned a bachelor's degree at Colorado State University and a master鈥檚 degree at Emory University. He also traveled around the world, created 3D reconstructions of ancient Greek ruins, and worked as a software engineer at RealGo and the National Snow and Ice Data Center.
