Me!

Maria (Mary) Pimenova

About Me

I am an undergraduate at the University of Washington majoring in computer science. Currently, I am the Membership Coordinator of our department's ACM chapter.

I am interning as a back-end developer for WhitePages, a people search website, this summer.

I graduated from Interlake High School in 2009. I enjoyed being a part of the Gifted High School Program (PRISM).

Research

I'm working on the Reverse Traceroute project with Ethan Katz-Bassett, Justine Sherry and Colin Scott, advised by Tom Anderson and Arvind Krishnamurthy.

Projects

For CSE 331, I wrote a Java program that finds directions between two real-life addresses. It uses Dijkstra's algorithm to find routes in a map loaded from the Tiger database. Screenshots [1][2]

cooperative monster containment I wrote Flash games during high school and founded Poofy Sheep Games. I wrote two games, Cooperative Monster Containment and Dive. They have received a total of over 9000 (actually closer to 4,000,000) gameplays.

In 9th grade, I wrote a 3D remake of the game, Hunt the Wumpus, for the Microsoft annual Hunt the Wumpus competition in J# and DirectX. I worked with Ankur Dave, John Dennison, Andrew Halcoussis, Michael Zhang and Brian Chien.

There are other things also, I'll add more later!

Hobbies

I love skiing! I started teaching ski lessons with Ullr Snow Sports this winter.

I also like cooking, photographing and eating food.
