Speaker
Description
Astronomy is a very rich field offering exposure into science, instrumentation, and software-programming skills. The intersection of this skills is being shared through Hack4dev practical sessions where astronomy expertise and practical software development are used to solve real-life problems. I will be sharing the story of the GuestPass App that was inspired by astronomy but ended up as a visitor management system. GuestPassvms is a python based program already hosted at the Playstore (GuestPass) and wed-hosted (https://guestpassvms.com/) that implements robust, scalable functionalities that resonate beyond astrophysics into real-world estate applications. Since launch, GuestPassvms has attracted over 1000 active users, demonstrating strong market validation and readiness for expansion. This presentation will detail the knowledge transfer from antenna concepts and software skills to crafting user-centric, secure, and efficient Python-based software solutions in property management. It will highlights technical challenges, growth trajectory, and the promising role of interdisciplinary skills in driving innovative app development.
