Description
Kalamazoo Valley’s Employee Directory is a public-facing web application that provides students, faculty, and staff with a centralized and searchable platform to locate employee contact information. The system features a responsive, mobile-friendly interface and advanced filtering capabilities, including search by department and job title.
The application serves as a reliable institutional hub designed to improve accessibility and usability when navigating employee information across the college.
Contributions
I was responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining the Vue.js frontend hosted on Digital Ocean. The frontend communicates with our custom in-house REST API to perform directory searches and retrieve employee data efficiently. I ensured that the interface adheres to Kalamazoo Valley’s branding guidelines, maintaining visual consistency with the institution’s design standards while prioritizing intuitive navigation and ease of use.
The backend API was developed by Chad Cunningham using Golang hosted on-premise. It interfaces with a cached PostgreSQL database with data sourced from the institution’s Oracle database.
