Ability to quickly determine the best course of action to efficiently solve problems. Experience in anticipating and avoiding future problems in projects.
Example:
Led a team of students in a MERN stack development project, despite having limited knowledge of the technologies.
I devised a learning curriculum and minimum knowledge criteria to ensure the team was prepared to work on the project,
resulting in successful completion of all project requirements.
Experience in introducing and implementing processes to improve intra-team workflows and visibility of work. Ability to streamline processes and improve communication across teams and departments.
Example:
Introduced agile and XP processes in each of the team projects I led, using kanban boards and regular code reviews to
create clear and simple workflows and allow every team member to easily see the state of a project.
Experience in leading and coordinating projects in cross-departmental teams. Proven ability to work effectively with internal and external stakeholders to deliver successful projects.
Example:
Led and coordinated each of my group projects at Makers Academy, running daily standups and retros,
assisting team members that needed support and ensuring that teams had a productive and supportive team environment.
Strong verbal and written communication skills, able to clearly convey technical information to non-technical audiences. Confident in explaining my work verbally and through documentation.
Example:
Led projects that required direct communication with external stakeholders, effectively briefing and evaluating work,
