01Problem
First-semester cores were built by hand.
The scheduling office spent about 30 minutes per student, then another week entering rosters into the S3 system.
02What I built
Hard rules, soft costs, paste-ready rosters.
DEVELOPER FOR THE SCHOOL · TEAM 10
AA scheduling engine with hard rules (no time or mini-semester conflicts, room capacity) and soft costs (balanced sections, 2+2 mini split, avoiding long days).
BHandling for course A-or-B choices, manual moves with lock/undo, S3 paste-ready rosters, and per-program advisor workbooks with email-out.
CA PII anonymizer and a synthetic-data generator, plus a Streamlit offline fallback and a CLI. Demos use synthetic data; the repo holds no student data.
03Result
607
Incoming Heinz students as the baseline of the job the office used to do by hand. No after number is stated.
