The Aberdeen Institute Attendance System represents a comprehensive digital transformation initiative that revolutionizes how the institute manages student attendance across its programs. As the lead frontend developer and UI/UX designer, I spearheaded the development of an intuitive, secure, and efficient web-based solution that serves thousands of students and faculty members daily.
Project Overview
The system provides a modern approach to attendance management through QR code-based check-ins, real-time monitoring, and comprehensive administrative controls. It seamlessly integrates with the institute's existing infrastructure while introducing new capabilities for data analysis and attendance tracking.
