Intelligent Timetable Automation

A full-stack constraint-based scheduling engine with real-time clash detection and Kanban editing.

Developed a robust automated system that processes complex inter-relationships between departments and subjects to generate optimized, conflict-free schedules.

The Challenge & Outcome
The Problem

Academic scheduling is a logistical nightmare involving hundreds of variables (professors, rooms, subjects, and sections). Manual scheduling leads to frequent overlaps and "clashes" that are hard to track.

The Solution

Developed a robust automated system that processes complex inter-relationships between departments and subjects to generate optimized, conflict-free schedules.
