Resource Management System
A system that gives skilled but under-utilised students real project work — matching people to resources the way a good manager would.
The problem
Institutions sit on two wasted assets: idle resources (labs, equipment, project slots) and skilled students who aren't currently engaged with them. Nobody had visibility of either side, so allocation happened through personal contacts.
The result was predictable — the same small group got every opportunity while capable students stayed invisible, and expensive resources sat unused between semesters.
My approach
Treat it as a matching problem
Framed the system around skills and availability as first-class data — every student profile and every resource carries structured, filterable attributes.
Strapi for speed, Postgres for truth
Used Strapi as the admin layer so non-technical staff could manage resources without a developer, backed by PostgreSQL for relational integrity.
Design for the coordinator
The key screen isn't the student's — it's the coordinator's allocation view: see demand, see idle capacity, resolve them in one interface.
The solution
A platform where students maintain living skill profiles, coordinators publish resources and project openings, and the system surfaces matches both ways — students discover opportunities, coordinators discover people.
Utilisation reporting made the invisible visible: which resources idle, which skills go unused, and where engagement actually happens.
