About VGSS Digital Platform

The Volunteer Graduate Service Scheme (VGSS) is a Loveworld initiative designed to connect graduates with service opportunities across BLW Zones, departments, and churches. Previously managed through paper-based and manual workflows, the process was slow, error-prone, and difficult to track.
The VGSS Digital Platform was developed to automate and centralize this workflow into a modern web application. The platform digitizes graduate submissions, streamlines verification and placement, and enhances collaboration among all stakeholders, including BLW Zones, graduates, departments, and the VGSS office.

My Role as the Lead Full-Stack Engineer

I led the architecture and development of the end-to-end VGSS Digital Platform, designing a scalable system that replaced the manual processes with automated, data-driven workflows. I worked closely with ministry stakeholders to translate requirements into functional modules while ensuring performance, security, and usability.
