I propose developing a secure, web-based alumni database with user-friendly interfaces to foster networking. The platform will feature:
Structured Profiles: Capture contact details (email, LinkedIn), professional background (industry, job title, company), and graduation year.
Advanced Search: Filters for name, graduation year, industry, and profession, powered by a robust backend (e.g., PostgreSQL) for fast queries.
Secure Access: Role-based login (alumni/admin) with privacy controls (e.g., opt-in visibility for contact info).
Web Interface: Responsive UI/UX design for seamless access on desktop/mobile, including profile editing and search dashboards.
Data Management: Tools for bulk imports (from school records), validation checks, and GDPR-compliant data handling.
Tech Stack: React.js frontend, Node.js/Django backend, cloud hosting (AWS/Heroku), and encrypted storage. Optional future features: messaging, event calendars, and alumni newsletters.
