Proffinder is a platform I built as project for my engineering exploration subject in college. Proffinder is built using the MERN stack and is a medium-sized project.
Proffinder is a platform which lets students input a 3 queries, the professor/faculty name, the day and the time slots which will then display their location (text-format) and their current status Proffinder is especially useful for large institutions where navigation can often be touch, or for freshers who are not aware of faulty locations. Proffinder implements authentication for faculty through JWT (Json Web Tokens). Which lets faculty login, upload a timetable and set a current status which will be displayed for selected slots.
