I have experience as a teacher assistant for the DevOps course for the 4th year bachelor and master students, where I assisted the instructor in preparing and delivering lessons, provided one-on-one support for students, and helped to manage and maintain the course’s infrastructure. My responsibilities included grading assignments, providing feedback, and helping students to troubleshoot technical issues related to the course’s content. Additionally, I assisted in creating and updating course materials and provided additional resources to students to help them better understand the material. Through this experience, I gained a deeper understanding of the DevOps field and honed my ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
