Description

Led the development of a comprehensive school management system serving 5000+ students and staff at Lincoln University College's Lincoln College Development Program. Architected a scalable full-stack solution using Laravel's MVC pattern, implementing clean code principles and SOLID design patterns while achieving a 95+ Lighthouse performance score. Engineered a robust authentication system with multi-factor authentication, role-based access control, and comprehensive audit logging for security compliance with OWASP Top 10 standards. Built real-time features including attendance tracking and grade management using Laravel's event system and WebSockets, ensuring data consistency across concurrent users while maintaining WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards. Implemented advanced database optimization techniques including query optimization, indexing strategies, and Redis caching, achieving consistent sub-200ms page load times under heavy load and 99.9% uptime SLA. Developed a modular architecture allowing easy feature additions and maintenance, with comprehensive test coverage using PHPUnit and 90%+ code coverage metrics. Created a responsive frontend using Bootstrap and jQuery, ensuring accessibility and cross-browser compatibility while maintaining a 4.8/5 user satisfaction rating. The system's success led to its adoption as a commercial product, with Lincoln University College selling it to other educational institutions. This project demonstrates my ability to architect and deliver enterprise-grade software that solves complex business problems while maintaining high performance, security, and scalability standards.
