The Journey

Digitizing a Manual Enrollment Process

From paperwork to a seamless digital workflow

Elementary school registration traditionally involved paperwork, manual verification, and long queues. The challenge was to digitize this process while maintaining accuracy, accessibility, and reliability. Key concerns included: • Preventing registration data errors • Supporting users with varying technical literacy • Ensuring platform stability during peak registration days • Designing a simple yet comprehensive interface The system had to be intuitive enough for parents while remaining technically robust behind the scenes.

Clean Architecture & Responsive Design

Scalable, maintainable, and accessible

We built the platform using React.js and TypeScript to ensure dynamic, type-safe components. Redux.js handled state management efficiently, especially for multi-step registration flows. Key implementation strategies: • Modular programming structure for maintainability • Clean architecture principles to support scalability • Tailwind CSS for responsive and consistent UI • Optimized API integration using Node.js services The hybrid development approach ensured users could access the system smoothly from desktops, tablets, or smartphones.

Empowering Thousands of Families

Efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility

PPDB Surabaya significantly improved how elementary school admissions are handled in Surabaya. Impact highlights: • Reduced paperwork and administrative burden • Minimized registration errors through automated validation • Increased accessibility through responsive design • Scalable infrastructure capable of handling high user volumes The platform demonstrated how modern frontend engineering and clean architecture can solve real-world public sector challenges effectively. This project strengthened my experience in building scalable government-focused web systems that prioritize accessibility, usability, and performance.
