Schematics 2022-2023
Powering one of the largest student-led tech events in Indonesia
Schematics 2023 is a prominent large-scale technology event organized by Computer Science students of Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS), designed to foster innovation, collaboration, and competition through a robust digital platform.
The Journey
Building for High-Traffic Moments
When registrations open, everything must work flawlessly
Schematics is one of the largest events organized by Computer Science students at Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS). This meant thousands of users could access the platform simultaneously during peak moments such as registration opening. The platform needed to: • Handle traffic spikes without crashing • Validate registration data accurately • Provide fast page loads across devices • Maintain reliability during event days Failure during these critical moments was not an option.
Scalable Architecture with Next.js
Performance, maintainability, and long-term sustainability
To address performance and scalability, we leveraged server-side rendering using Next.js. This significantly improved load times and ensured better SEO visibility. We followed clean architecture principles: • Modular frontend structure • Separation of concerns between UI and logic • Clear API contracts with backend team • Maintainable and reusable components Using TypeScript improved type safety and reduced runtime bugs. Tailwind CSS allowed us to build responsive interfaces quickly while maintaining consistency across the platform.
Collaboration in a Hybrid Environment
Synchronizing frontend, backend, and design
The project was executed in a hybrid work environment. Close collaboration with UI/UX designers ensured every design was technically feasible and optimized for implementation. With backend developers, we: • Defined API contracts clearly • Integrated endpoints efficiently • Tested edge cases together • Managed version control using Git and GitHub This workflow ensured smooth development cycles and minimized integration issues during deployment.
A Platform That Empowered Organizers
Technology enabling operational excellence
The resulting platform significantly streamlined event operations. Key impact areas: • Simplified registration process for participants • Real-time updates kept users engaged and informed • Admin dashboard improved operational efficiency • Responsive design ensured accessibility across devices The modular architecture also ensured that future Schematics teams could build upon a strong technical foundation. This project strengthened my expertise in scalable frontend development, performance optimization, and cross-functional collaboration in large-scale digital platforms.
