Senior Project: Our senior project integrates our cumulative knowledge of the software development lifecycle, focusing on creating virtual labs for educational use. My team's role involves developing scalable containers and pre-configured virtual machines for Windows and Linux, utilizing Proxmox VE. This allows professors to effortlessly assign and auto-grade lab assignments, providing a practical, hands-on learning experience for students. This initiative highlights our capability to apply theoretical concepts to real-world challenges, enhancing the educational toolkit for future academic use. Due to some difficulties the team had with the UI towards the end of the project, I quickly remade the entire UI with the experience I had gained from making this website.
