I worked with Professor Tim Thayne to revamp the course to include React as anoptional frontend framework for the Full Stack Development course for the Winter 2020 semester. I coded, documented, and created a large amount of the course material. The Full Stack class currently follows the MEAN Stack; 80% of the class is Angular 2+ and the other 20% is the MongoDB, Express, and Node.js.

I focused on coaching students in this class and helping then understanding overarching concepts. It helped me understand Angular more in depth and it gave a opportunity to focus more on coding solutions & overarching concepts and less on framework semantics.The DevOps class follows the book, The DevOps Handbook. The class teaches team & businessstrategies and agiles methodologies. As a TA I gained a more in-depth of agile methodologies.
