Janrey Javier (he/him/siya) is a first-generation student, cis-het male, Asian American, Filipino American, and child of immigrants. He finished his undergraduate studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston and his master’s at University of San Francisco, completing the MA Organization & Leadership program with a focus in Higher Education Leadership. Janrey currently works full-time at the University of California, Berkeley as the Student Engagement Manager at the Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation, under the College of Engineering. His first exposure to ethnic studies was through the Asian American Studies department at the University of Massachusetts Boston, inspiring him to co-trip lead an alternative spring break trip dedicated to Asian American mental health in response to anti-Asian hate incited during COVID-19 and support local Asian American organizations, dedicate his undergraduate honors thesis to the topic of Asian American student leadership development in Massachusetts public higher education institutions, and pursue graduate school as he shifted his career trajectory to education. After enduring a harmful experience at a predominantly white institution, Janrey took a leap of faith and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area to work full-time while transferring to the University of San Francisco as a full-time student. His exposure to bell hooks’ Theory as Liberatory Practice urged him to explore the gaps of his undergraduate honors thesis to make sense of his past experiences while generating empirical evidence that would contribute to the concretization of Filipino American student experiences in academic research. Finishing his master’s program and thesis inspired him to give back to the community, which led him to teach part-time in the San Francisco Unified School District with Pin@y Educational Partnerships, teaching Filipinx/a/o American studies to high school students. Janrey has presented his work at the 2023 Asian Pacific Americans in Higher Education conference as well as Asian American Studies classes at UMass Boston. He strives to be an active member of the communities he’s connected with, from serving in student government and staff organizations to volunteering in local Filipino organizations and higher education associations. Janrey’s research interests center around Asian American and Filipino American student development, exploring how leadership, community engagement, and family influence shape their experiences as they transition from high school to post-secondary education and navigate higher education.

Greg has been working in programming languages and compliers for a couple decades. While they think of themselves as a lover of (dependently) typed functional languages, GitHub claims that they’re now primarily a Nix developer. Greg’s focus on programming languages has always been about making it easier for people to realize their visions, and sees Nix as an important part of that goal. To relay, Greg likes to hold their breath a few meters underwater, where the computers can’t get them.
