The paperwork that stopped getting lost along the way.

End-to-end management system. Thesis project.

Context

The Instrumento A is a mandatory academic document at the Facultad de Ingeniería (UNMDP) that describes each course and needs institutional approval every year. Until then, that process lived in paperwork and loose spreadsheets. G.I.A. digitizes it end to end: creation, validation and management.

Decisions

We worked as a team of three, with defined roles and an agile methodology (Kanban, Git with branch management). The backend is a REST API in Laravel with an OOP approach, with a separate WebSocket server for real-time notifications, on top of MariaDB. The frontend is Next.js with strict TypeScript, role-based dashboards and PDF export. Everything runs containerized on Docker, on our own VPS.

Result

A system in real use within the faculty, built for over 100 concurrent users. We covered the critical functionality with testing (Pest on the backend), and validated frontend-backend integration before shipping it. It was our final degree project, treated with standards close to those of a professional environment.

Traceability

Each requirement is backed by the test case that verifies it.

Requirements
R1 · Instrument history per course
R2 · Creation only within the enabled period
R3 · Department director role assignment
Test cases
T-01 Lists the instrument history per course
T-02 Rejects creation outside the enabled dates
T-03 Only one director gets assigned per department
