      Peer Assisted Study Session (PASS) Leader

      As a PASS Leader at Griffith University, I have completed training in team dynamics and session planning to provide quality learning experiences for students. I am responsible for planning and creating weekly sessions for students, which are delivered both online and in-person. As a reflective practitioner, I am always looking for ways to improve and regularly evaluate sessions to determine what worked well and what can be improved. I create revision questions that align with quizzes and exams approved by the lecturer to help students prepare for their assessments. I have served as a PASS Leader for both "Programming Principles" in Python 3 and "Creative Coding" in P5.js, which have equipped me with valuable technical skills that I can apply to my role in future careers.

      Software Engineer Internship

      As a software engineering intern, I have researched networks and routing through technical reports and gained practical experience testing distributed databases such as MongoDB and Couchbase on both Linux and Windows operating systems. I am familiar with setting up Virtual Machines and have worked on creating and testing Kafka implementations using Java and Python 3. Additionally, I have gained experience in containerising Python applications for use in Docker and Kubernetes. I also set up and tested container and image implementations using Docker on Windows. Throughout my internship, I had to create many documents alongside my department such as a Project Plan and Research Report. I am excited to leverage my skills and knowledge to contribute to a dynamic software engineering or networking team. Show less
