A Zoo Management System built in C++ that serves as a complete digital ecosystem for modern zoological operations.
This comprehensive platform manages animal databases across multiple habitats, handles visitor ticketing and reservations,
and provides powerful search capabilities—all through an intuitive console interface.
The system demonstrates professional software architecture with polymorphic design patterns, memory-safe resource management,
and scalable data structures capable of handling complex zoo operations efficiently.

Software Developer
As the lead developer for this comprehensive Zoo Management System, I designed and implemented a robust C++ application with sophisticated data management capabilities:
System Architecture
- Built an object-oriented hierarchy with Animal base class and specialized Mammal, Bird, and Fish derivatives
- Implemented interface segregation with IFly for flying capabilities
- Designed memory-safe resource management using smart pointers and RAII principles
Data Management & Persistence
- Created file I/O system to load animal data from text files with structured parsing
- Implemented habitat-based organization using vectors and enum classifications
- Developed comprehensive search functionality with case-insensitive keyword matching across all animal attributes
Animal Management Features
- Dynamic animal addition with full validation and error handling
- Habitat-based categorization (Jungle, Desert, Forest, Arctic, Aquatic)
- Detailed attribute tracking including diet, feeding times, predators, and species-specific traits
- Polymorphic display system showing appropriate information for each animal type
