+While I completed tasks across Submitty, I primarily focused on expanding the Rainbow Grades GUI Customization Menu so that it would become more widely used by professors. I implemented several features to the menu so that it could match the capabilities of manual JSON configuration, improved the user interface experience, added testing, and fixed bugs.
+
+My work includes, but is not limited to, the following items:
+
+## Rainbow Grades Web-Based Customization
+#### Features Implemented
+ - Adjusting final grade cutoffs (PR [#10518](https://github.com/Submitty/Submitty/pull/10518))

+
+ - Grading assignments by configurable percents instead of by score (PR [#10763](https://github.com/Submitty/Submitty/pull/10763))
