-Algorithmic Assessments: I developed and maintained a Maple software library deployed on the Mobius platform to improve the quality of algorithmically-generated questions used in learning materials and assessments. I achieved up to 90% reduced runtime, enhanced selection of "nice numbers", and facilitated standard mathematical input from students.-Streamlining Assessment Process: I led the development and deployment of a web application for randomized conceptual questions, applicable to all faculty Mobius users at the University of Waterloo. This was implemented at a large scale in online classes, effectively mitigating plagiarism during the pandemic and producing normalized assessment results while preserving grading equity.-Project Management: I successfully managed multiple software development projects involving summer co-op students, including the development of web applications. I assumed responsibility for maintenance post-deployment.-Technical Support: I regularly provided troubleshooting and technical assistance to multiple users of various platforms used by the university – Mobius, Learn (D2L’s Brightspace), and Crowdmark.-Teaching and Coordinating: I delivered online and in-person classes, overseeing assessments, supporting files, and teaching assistants. Topics taught include Calculus and Linear Algebra.-Online Course Design: I regularly contributed to the development of online courses, through reviewing course notes and providing feedback, algorithmic question design, and assembling or providing feedback on all other aspects.-Active University Engagement: I was elected to the Senate and was actively engaged with the university community.-Contributions to Hiring Process: I participated in the selection of sessional lecturers and online learning assistant co-op students. I played a key role in creating projects for and hiring 15 software developer co-op students, and allocated projects to students.
