HANI · Halo Alumni

HANI (Halo Alumni) is the alumni network for Soegijapranata Catholic University, delivered during my time working on the university's web systems.

It gives graduates one place to stay in touch with each other and with campus: a profile and directory to find people again, job vacancies shared within the alumni community, and campus updates that would otherwise never reach them. It is a native PHP and PostgreSQL build, and it runs on the university's own domain.

It is more than a directory. There is a timeline alumni post to and comment on, a forum behind it for the longer threads, a job board where openings are passed alumni to alumni instead of through a public site, and campus events to browse, join, and look back on afterwards. Profiles carry the things graduates recognise each other by (major, cohort and graduation year), so searching for someone works the way people actually remember them.

Two pieces make it useful after graduation rather than merely nostalgic. Every graduate is issued a digital alumni card with its own verification QR, and a document desk handles the requests the university would otherwise field by email: diploma, transcript and accreditation letters, downloaded from the account. An e-library keeps journal access open long after the student login has expired.
