ALUMNI MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Abstract

This report presents the development and implementation of the Alumni Management System (AMS), a centralized web-based platform designed to enhance alumni engagement and data management at Nazarbayev University. Addressing the inefficiencies of manual systems, AMS integrates modern technologies including React for frontend development, Laravel for backend services, PostgreSQL for database management, and Docker for deployment. Key features include multilingual support (Kazakh, Russian, English), role-based access control (RBAC), JWT-based secure authentication, real-time messaging via WebSocket (Laravel Reverb), and responsive design. The project follows Agile Scrum methodology, enabling iterative development and stakeholder feedback integration. Evaluation through user testing demonstrated significant improvements in usability, accessibility, and administrative efficiency. The system not only modernizes alumni data handling but also lays the groundwork for scalable and privacy-compliant alumni engagement infrastructure in the context of Kazakhstan’s digital transformation initiatives.
