WEB APPLICATION FOR ALUMNI

Abstract

The challenge of managing sizable alumni datasets and improving communication between the university and its graduates is addressed by the Web Application for Alumni, which was created for Nazarbayev University. With features like token-based authentication through Laravel Sanctum, complete CRUD operations, and automated/manual backups, the project sought to provide a scalable, safe, and user-friendly platform. React with Inertia.js for the frontend, PostgreSQL for the database, PHP/Laravel with Laravel Breeze for authentication scaffolding, and an admin panel for data management are all features of the system, which is hosted on an Nginx server. Alumni can access news, events, user stories, and personal information through the alumni user panel. With Jira for task management and GitHub for version control the development process was iterative and employed Agile methodologies. Performance testing, usability testing with students and alumnis, security audits, and backup testing to guarantee adherence to data protection guidelines were all part of the evaluation process. The outcomes validate a strong solution that satisfies all requirements and greatly enhances alumni engagement and data management. This computing-based solution offers stakeholders quantifiable value while being in line with institutional requirements and contemporary web development practices.
