[Campus-uw-staff] [MENTORS] introductions & who's doing what

[Hsi-Kai (Kai) Yang]

Hi Shauna,
Thanks for adding me to mentor list.
I'd be happy to work in git session. Also I can be a help in Ben Marwick's
R markdown.
Since I am a local guy here in Seattle, I am willing to help in pre-event
stuff, starting from Saturday afternoon. Just let me know.
