“NUVERSE” - NU CORPORATE WEB-PORTAL

Abstract

The main goal of our “NUVerse” project is to create a secure web portal with user-friendly interface for the Nazarbayev University community. The system addresses the limitations of the existing digital platform by providing dynamic news and event modules, a searchable phonebook, and role-based content access. The project was developed with initially defined tech stack: Spring Boot for backend part, React.js for the frontend services and PostgreSQL as a database system for data management. We used Agile methodology for work flow control as it lets us divide tasks into sprints and complete them step by step. This semester, we implemented new functionality including event calendar, phonebook service and birthday widget. It completes our project functionality complementing the functionality we completed last semester - authentication and authorization, news publication and home page with widgets. The project aligns closely with computing-based solution principles—starting from identifying real needs, designing scalable architecture, to delivering a secure and tested MVP that integrates with university infrastructure.
