About this Course
In this capstone project, you will leverage your skills to solve a real-world inspired challenge and craft an effective solution using your expertise in full stack JavaScript development.

This project gives you the chance to reinforce your JavaScript front-end and back-end abilities. You’ll design web front-ends using HTML and CSS, and make them dynamic and interactive using React. You will develop back-end services to connect with a MongoDB database, and set up CI/CD pipelines—all while following Agile and DevOps methodologies.

Throughout this capstone, you’ll apply in-demand skills, including:
  • Designing an application architecture
  • Building a dynamic frontend with HTML, CSS, and the React JavaScript framework
  • Integrating backend services like NoSQL databases
  • Implementing DevOps practices such as CI/CD pipelines
  • Deploying a serverless application on Cloud
  • Developing and consuming RESTful microservices
  • Hosting the full solution on the cloud using Kubernetes
By the end of this project, you’ll have a highly functional full-stack application to show potential employers.
Before beginning, we strongly recommend finishing all courses in the IBM Full Stack Developer – JavaScript – Professional Certificate.

In this capstone project, you will: 
  • Design a full-stack web application architecture using JavaScript, React, Node.js, Express, and MongoDB. 
  • Develop a dynamic frontend with React and a scalable backend with Node.js, Express, and MongoDB.
  • Integrate RESTful APIs and microservices to enable communication between frontend and backend components.
  • Implement DevOps best practices by configuring CI/CD pipelines and deploying using containers (Kubernetes) and serverless technologies.
  • Apply Agile methodologies by creating user stories, conducting iterative development, and testing.
  • Deploy the full-stack application on a cloud platform and optimize performance for real-world use.

SME AI, DS and Cloud technologies

I am an educational consultant for Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and Cloud application development. I am passionate about making learning and upskilling meaningful and impactful for the learners. I have completed the PG program in AI and ML from Great Learning, affiliated with Mc Combs business school, University of Texas, Dallas. I am a certified educator and I conduct technical training for corporates and individual adult learners. I am a software engineer, backed by many years of experience in software development in product-based and project-based companies with involvement in the SDLC. This experience is integrated into my blended teaching methodologies. I embarked on a journey to re-skill staff who did not have the luxury of the hiatus to catch up with technology besides what they got to work on or sometimes left behind technology as they explored other areas. It has been the most gratifying experience to be able to teach technology and hone myself in it too. I have an in-depth understanding of software development using Agile methodologies and DevOps. My extensive international work experience has made me comfortable working with and in different cultures.
