Context
Academic & Technical Environment
Full-time instructional role at FEU Institute of Technology, combining technical teaching across multiple class sections with hands-on full-stack development, project template design, containerized environments, deployment automation, and software testing practices.
The focus of the role extended beyond traditional lecture delivery to owning the design and implementation of reusable instructional development templates and supporting deployment/testing workflows used to support students and instructors.
Scope
Instructional & Development Scope
Taught and mentored students across software-development subjects while also designing reusable project standards, building web-development templates, containerizing application environments, implementing automated deployment workflows, and validating applications through functional, API, and browser-based testing.
Secondary Scope: Teaching · Development · Deployment · QA
Technical Standards & Templates
Web Design 1 & 2 Standard Templates
Created standardized Web Design templates using a Sliced Architecture project structure to introduce students to clearer separation, organization, and maintainable frontend project conventions.
These templates functioned as both instructional reference material and reusable development standards. Students used the templates to study expected development standards, practice structured web development, build static websites, and deploy their work via Git and GitHub workflows.
Deployment Automation
GitHub Actions → GitHub Pages Deployment
Implemented automated deployment workflows for static projects through GitHub Actions targeting GitHub Pages.
Added GitHub Actions workflows that automatically deployed eligible static projects to GitHub Pages, giving students practical exposure to source-controlled deployment beyond basic local execution.
Development Environments
CodeIgniter 4 Standard Dockerized Environment
Built a standardized Dockerized CodeIgniter 4 project template with the application, database, and Redis services prepared as a reusable environment for students and instructors.
Introduced Docker-based development environments through reusable application templates, giving students a more consistent way to run application, database, and Redis services while reducing repeated environment setup. The project environment was structured so that it was prepared for server-based deployment environments such as AWS and DigitalOcean.
QA & Validation
Functional, API, & End-to-End Testing
Validated instructional and web-system implementations through manual functional testing, API testing with Postman, and browser-based testing with Playwright.
Testing practices were integrated into the development workflow to ensure feature accuracy, check expected API response contracts, verify UI/end-to-end browser flows, and maintain instructional material quality.
