🚀 Starting a New Software Engineering Organization at GMU — Looking for Founding Members
I’m currently building a new student organization focused on learning software engineering through real collaborative projects and modern engineering workflows.
The goal is to bridge the gap between classroom programming and how software is actually built in real engineering environments.
This is NOT just:
• a lecture club
• a LeetCode club
• random coding sessions
The vision is to create a collaborative engineering environment where students can:
• work on real projects together
• learn Git/GitHub workflows
• gain frontend/backend experience
• understand deployment & infrastructure
• practice teamwork and collaboration
• build portfolio-ready systems
• simulate real software engineering workflows in a beginner-friendly way
Some example project ideas:
• Study Group Finder
• Degree Planner / Dashboard
• Real-time applications
• Full-stack web systems
Currently looking for:
• Founding members
• Experienced Programmers (Juniors / Seniors) who might need experience
• People interested in backend/frontend/devops/design
• Beginners willing to learn
• Anyone interested in building and growing something long-term
Important:
You do NOT need to already be experienced. The organization is intended to be beginner-friendly and growth-oriented. The pilot semester will focus on simplified workflows and learning collaboratively step-by-step.
Right now I’m organizing:
• club structure
• semester workflow
• project planning
• onboarding documents
• engineering processes
