Three million Sunday check-ins, without a queue.

Attendance software churches use to check kids and volunteers in every week — most of it in a two-hour window on Sunday morning.

01 / Problem

Peak load is brutal and human: a line of parents, a volunteer who trained for ten minutes, and a printer that has opinions. Every extra tap is a longer line.

02 / What I did

I own the front-end of the station experience. I prototype flows in the real codebase, pair with design on interaction details, and ship the motion, states and edge cases that make a kiosk feel calm under pressure.

03 / Outcome

Fewer taps per check-in, clearer error states when hardware misbehaves, and a station UI that volunteers can run with no training. Numbers to fill in with the team.
