WEB APPLICATION FOR ALUMNI

Abstract

Today, the alumni management system relies on Excel spreadsheets in Nazarbayev University. It presents significant drawbacks like data inconsistency, manual processing inefficiencies (human error), lack of scalability, and difficulties in maintaining data integrity. Our main goal is to develop a scalable web-based solution that replaces the existing Excel-based system. So, we started to implement the basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations. We aimed to add the bulk data upload functionality. It speeds up the adding of new alumni to the system since we can receive files from registrar.nu.edu.kz. Our solution involves modern, scalable technologies including React for frontend development, Java Spring Boot for the backend, PostgreSQL for efficient data storage, and Docker for streamlined and reliable deployment. The project successfully achieved its objectives, resulting in a fully functional web application featuring comprehensive CRUD operations, intuitive role based user interfaces, bulk data upload/download capabilities, and robust JWT-based security authentication. Overall, it enhances current system management in different ways such as data handling efficiency, reduces manual errors, and ensures secure and convenient access for administrators. Through careful requirement gathering, structured development methodologies, and testing we developed a robust alumni management system for CAC.
