Doketz

Gordon's Challenge

Back when I worked at Gordon Academy, HR and bookkeeping division started replacing their attendance management system to a new service provider and as far as I know, the new provider didn't have any interface to fetch data from the attendance monitors. So, the head of HR asked me if I can help with that. And sure, I did.

Doketz

The previous attendance management system was previously referred to as "Oketz". And to symbolize leaving "Oketz" I thought that I should call my program "De-Oketz", but it didn't click me, so I chose "Doketz".

Stack Overview

Doketz was a console application written in Node.js that didn't require any user input to function. Every 30 minutes it was connecting to attendance monitors, fetching data and translating it to the format understood by the new service provider.

Final Thoughts

Doketz is working tirelessly since January 2023 and didn't miss an entry to this day.
