Event Sign Ins

I do custom sign-in pages for Creative Inquiry and other organizations' events. With just a laptop and a printer, this page can serve as the interface of a sign-in kiosk. The page records the attendee's information in our database, then automatically prints a nametag.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

  • Created as nametag printer kiosk for events
  • Integration with University database for user major/department info

Reporting

Financial reporting dashboard page

Utilizing project information and admin input, I created a dynamic accounting page for departmental business/accounting employees.

  • Allows users to monitor project fund balances
  • Connects with Clemson University financial information systems
