Built with
Attendance management system for employees and students, built with Next.js and TypeScript across both frontend and API routes.
Attendance tracking supports check-in and check-out, manual entry, and bulk operations. Bulk entry is the feature that determines whether a system is used, because the reality of attendance administration is a supervisor correcting twenty records at once after the fact, not twenty individuals each fixing their own.
Multiple roles are supported, covering admin, teacher, student, and employee, each with permissions appropriate to what they should see and change. That role spread is why the system adapts to both educational and corporate settings: the underlying event, a person was present at a time, is identical, and only the vocabulary and the reporting differ.
Reporting and analytics surface patterns, absences, and trends. The value of an attendance system is almost entirely in the aggregate rather than the individual record, since nobody consults it to learn whether one person attended on one day, they consult it to see a pattern forming.
Built as a full-stack Next.js application with API routes handling the backend, which keeps a system of this size in a single deployable unit. Splitting it into separate services would add operational overhead with nothing to show for it at this scale.
