Synopsis
Technical consultancy for Faculty of Engineering Admissions. Containerized a mission-critical legacy ATAR calculator using Docker to resolve OS-compatibility issues.
The Making Of
🎯 The Challenge
One Friday afternoon at peak admissions season, the faculty's ATAR calculator broke. The admissions team needed it working by Monday morning or the admissions process would be delayed.
💡 The Solution
Took on a codebase I'd never seen, diagnosed broken dependencies and missing cross-platform support, and containerised the tool with Docker so it runs the same on any machine.
🚀 The Impact
Delivered by Monday morning, and admissions ran on time.
