Abstract

This paper presents Alumni Connect, a Web app and Website developed using code platforms and AI-assisted tools to bridge the gap between college alumni and current students. The development workflow begins with wireframe design and interactive prototype creation in Figma, providing a comprehensive visualization of the user experience. AI-powered online tools are subsequently used to transform the Figma prototype into a functional frontend interface without conventional programming. Backend services and dynamic features including user authentication, cloud data storage, live meetings, real-time chat, and voice/video calls are implemented through a curated stack of platform APIs: Firebase for authentication and Mangodb for db and cloudinary for storage database, Agora.io for real-time voice and video communication, Agora sdk for multi-participant virtual meetings, and for code app assembly and data binding. The primary objective of Alumni Connect is to foster meaningful, structured connections between alumni and students, supporting mentorship, career guidance, and the overall development of the college community. Evaluation results demonstrate successful delivery of all target features with low development overhead, confirming the viability of the code and AI-assisted paradigm for institutional networking applications.
