Griffin Zody
Griffin Zody developed and integrated the Assessment Management Service (AMS) across the instructure/canvas-lms repository, focusing on modular architecture, feature flag governance, and seamless user experience. Over five months, Griffin delivered AMS features such as dynamic module loading, controller logic, and UI routing, enabling conditional rendering and staged rollouts via feature flags. He enhanced backend and frontend integration using Ruby on Rails, React, and TypeScript, supporting scalable assessment workflows and flexible configuration. Griffin’s work included API development, metadata enrichment for linked files, and robust access control, resulting in maintainable, extensible code that improved assessment management and cross-system interoperability.

Sep 1, 2025September 2025 – Key focus: AMS Integration enhancements for Canvas LMS. Delivered configurable AMS API URL support and access control via feature flags, enabling safer, staged rollouts and easier future expansions. Implemented API URL override for AMS through remote_env (affecting ItemBanksController and QuizzesController), updated dynamic settings and TypeScript definitions, and introduced two feature flags (ams_root_account_integration and ams_course_integration) to gate AMS access with flag-driven rendering and access control. This work lays the groundwork for root-account and course-level AMS integrations while improving maintainability and configuration agility.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025: Implemented AMS integration for the Item Banks page in Canvas LMS behind the 'ams_service' feature flag. When enabled, users are redirected to the AMS activity list; when disabled, the existing Item Banks UI remains. This involved implementing new controller logic, route definitions, and UI routing to support conditional rendering. This work lays the groundwork for broader AMS integration across Canvas LMS and improves cross-system item management workflows for instructors and admins.
