As a senior software engineer, I contributed to front-end development using React, Redux, and Material UI, as well as server-side development through work on the RESTful API (Loopback) and microservices (Seneca).
I used Git and Github to collaborate, and as no code passed into the master branch without multiple team members' scrutiny and feedback, this position allowed me to improve my programming skills via direct feedback proffered on my own code, reading and analyzing others' code choices, and through resulting discussions on best practices and the establishment of team-wide standards.
As a resident instructor in Galvanize's Full Stack Web Development program, I assisted in the development and delivery of instruction with the goal of helping new coders develop mastery in both server- and client-side technologies. I delivered lessons to large groups, as well as helped single students through more individualized struggles via one-on-one interventions. The languages, libraries, frameworks, etc. that I got to master and teach through this opportunity include Javascript, Node, Express, PostgreSQL, Angular1.5, and React/Redux.
As an instructor in both the English Department and Intensive English Program at CSU, I planned curriculum and lessons in order to help English-language learners gain proficiency in academic English, with an emphasis in teaching writing and composition.
For a variety of courses (e.g., College Composition, Writing for International Graduate Students, Listening/Speaking, English Grammar), I was trusted to take a set of objectives and expected outcomes and design a course and accompanying materials that facilitated students' achievement of these objectives. Through this iterative process, repeated many times over several years, I was able to combine both analytic and creative skills to ensure students received instruction and tasks that enabled student success.
