Time Manager

A time, team, and activity management application.

A web time-tracking app for employees and managers, built by a team of 4. I was project lead and lead backend developer.

Context

A web app meant to digitize time and team tracking: employees, clock-in/time, calendar, statistics, and manager views.

Team

Team of 4 students.

Role

Project lead and lead/principal backend developer, a dual role combining coordination and technical delivery.

What was built

React/TypeScript frontend, Node/Express/TypeScript API, PostgreSQL persistence via TypeORM, JWT authentication, Docker Compose environment with Traefik. Delivered features: employee/manager accounts, a break timer, a personal dashboard, presence/lateness/hours-worked indicators, an on-site/remote calendar, individual and team statistics, user management, a REST API, TypeORM migrations, and demo seed data.

Architecture

React → Express/TypeScript API → TypeORM → PostgreSQL, all orchestrated via Docker Compose with Traefik as the entry point.

Technical decisions

TypeORM + PostgreSQL for persistence
The backend layer relies on TypeORM on top of PostgreSQL, with versioned migrations.
Fully containerized environment
Docker Compose orchestrates the frontend, backend, database, and Traefik as the entry point, for a reproducible environment.

Results

A functional app, cleanly structured across front/back/database, with an API, business features, Docker Compose, and a backend testable via `npm test`. The project was well received.

Limitations

The GitHub Actions CI called for in the brief wasn't set up. The project also doesn't have a published test-coverage measurement.
