Biometric Attendance Automation

The Problem

Shree Balaji Group of Companies (sbgrps.com) had biometric attendance hardware generating data that wasn't being processed efficiently. Every day meant manual exports and manual entry — slow, repetitive, and error-prone. The hardware worked fine. Everything after it was the bottleneck.

What I Built

• An automation pipeline that reads output straight from the biometric devices, processes the raw attendance records, and pushes clean data into their systems.
• FastAPI handles the processing layer, PostgreSQL stores the records, and Python glues the device output to the rest of the flow.
• The design goal was simple: no human should ever have to touch an export file again. Eliminated manual handling entirely.

Result

Running in production at a real company with real employees clocking in every day. The data flows on its own now.
