Anika Cheerla
Co-Founder, President and CEO
I am currently a senior at Monta Vista High. I first started out programming in middle school and I soon found a passion for it, learning Java, Swift, and multiple other languages. I enjoy teaching kids and preparing the curricula. I also love to participate in science fairs, play water polo, practice Taekwondo, and listen to music. In addition to running MathAndCoding, which takes up most of my time, I am also president of the Computer Science Club in my school where I teach cool CS concepts and algorithms to students.

Kanchana Samala
Vice President, Visual/Python Programming
I am a senior at Evergreen Valley High School. I love teaching young kids. I feel that visual programming is an excellent way to get them introduced to coding. I have conducted many coding for kids classes in my neighborhood libraries and thoroughly enjoyed them. I also have a passion for Indian Carnatic music and Bharatnatyam, a classical form of dance. In my free time, I practice Kung Fu, paint, watch movies, and spend time with my brother. I take pride in learning one of the most ancient languages of the world, Sanskrit.

Srikar Gattepalli
Vice President, Electric Bike / MathMatters workshops
I am a senior at Evergreen Valley High School. I have been building and riding electric vehicles since I was in elementary school. I enjoy understanding the components that are part of cars, electric bikes, go karts, etc. It involves a lot of physics and at the end of the day, everything connects. Understanding the electrical components within an EV is also very interesting. I wish to spread my love for mechanics through workshops that I have created for middle school students. I also love teaching kids how to program because I feel that kids need to know the effort it takes to program the games they are playing .

Kevin Zhou
I’m a senior at Monta Vista High School. I was first introduced to basic programming in middle school. I found out I really enjoyed it and would often code for fun at home. Since then, I have learned many more programming languages. My goal as a teacher for Math and Coding is to help other students develop a similar passion for coding. I have previous teaching experience in coaching badminton, so I understand students have individualized needs for learning and I’m willing to help them find success

Nethan Sivarapu
I am a sophomore at Summit Tahoma. Growing up, I was always interested in coding, due to my family’s interest in it. As I starting to get into middle school, I was gaining more and more knowledge about different languages such as Java, JavaScript, and Python. I am also a 5 - year participant in the MOEMS program and that has helped me a lot int he math field. Through Math&Coding, I am able to share this knowledge that me and other teachers have with students.
