This C# .NET-based automation system replaces manual spreadsheet scheduling with a powerful, real-time project management platform designed specifically for engineering organizations. It allows teams to track progress, workload, and performance across multiple projects — all visually and automatically.
About This Project
Engineers were struggling with overcomplicated Excel sheets that couldn’t scale to handle multi-project operations, so I developed this dedicated scheduling engine. Built in C# .NET with SQL database integration, the system connects directly to the company’s central administration database to analyze employee workloads, project status, and time utilization across all teams.
Key features include:
- Automated scheduling for projects, design phases, and individual employee tasks
- Integration with central admin databases for real-time data updates
- Visual performance spectrum — tasks are color-coded from red (behind schedule) to white (on track) to green (ahead of schedule)
- Instant insights — upper management can review progress in real time without lengthy status meetings
- Automated reporting and dynamic data refresh for decision-making
This application eliminated the inefficiency of spreadsheet-based scheduling and replaced it with an intelligent dashboard capable of predicting workload bottlenecks, tracking deadlines, and optimizing personnel distribution in near real-time.
Built as a standalone Windows desktop program, it demonstrates how C# and .NET can bring enterprise-level automation, data visualization, and operational transparency to engineering workflows.
