• Taught cohorts of 60+ students using educational guidelines and curriculum developed by Generation USA.• Designed and delivered innovative lesson-specific challenges to a diverse group of students in a hands-on and fast-paced environment. Allowing for a deeper understanding of web development and java development practices and programming methodologies. • 30% of students who graduated my class have obtained positions as developers and various software engineering roles.• Supported students in teams of 4 through their final project of developing a full stack application and hosting it on Heroku. Promoted end-to-end development, the front end was built with Javascript/HTML/CSS, the back end was an API built with Java Spring Boot and other frameworks along with a MySql Database, which were all taught during the course.• Mentored TA’s to prepare them for future developer roles. Both of my TA’s have now obtained internships and fellowships with Microsoft and Spotify.

• Assisted a Junior Web Developer Instructor in teaching a cohort of 40+ students web development using Javascript, HTML, and CSS.• Created 20+ lesson-specific challenges and activities for HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and Javascript to help students gain a deeper understanding of coding practices.• Led 50% of the technical sessions throughout the program. Also, covered soft skills such as persistence, personal responsibility, teamwork, and growth mindset. As well as Scrum and Agile development focusing on project organization and sprint planning.• Monitored and maintained students attendance, grades, and channels of communication to ensure the class and Instructor stayed up to date.
