Access360: Full-Stack Visitor Management System

Full-Stack Developeracademic
Solved a real-world visitor management problem at Forman Christian College University by replacing manual registration and verification workflows with a centralized digital platform. Designed and implemented the full-stack system for visitor registration, CNIC-based OCR verification, QR-code check-in, visit tracking, approval workflows, and administrative reporting. Built centralized database and verification workflows to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and traceability of visitor management, deployed at FCCU and received the Runners Up Best Final Year Project Award (2026).
