Watching folx come to Collab Lab and grow their collaboration skills is, without a doubt, one of my favorite parts of life. We’ve just wrapped Cohort 8 and I am incredibly grateful to have gotten the chance to work on such a fun, ambitious team of developers!

The team:

• 🌺 Shajia Abidi
• 🌟 Lily Zhou
• 🔮 Ali Thompson
• ☀️ Luka Baramishvili

The mentors:

• 🌼 Adrienne Lowe
• ✨ Stacie Taylor
• 💥 Andrew Hedges

Each member of this team is incredibly gracious and humble. Throughout their eight weeks together, they were always sharing credit for a job well done and lifting each other up! When it came to code reviews they were great about accepting and incorporating feedback and even proactively asking for it.

Shajia, Lily, Ali, and Luka are all strong technically, but completely understood the importance of learning good team practices. They consistently inspired me with their organized and thoughtful weekly demos and their teamwork was absolutely inspiring.

I enjoyed spending time getting to know each member of Team #8 and cannot wait to see what the future holds for them!
