Professional Networking Platform Development

I’m launching a new platform aimed at connecting more than 91 million professionals worldwide. At this first stage the entire focus is on a clean, intuitive MVP that lets anyone sign up, build a rich professional profile, and be discovered through robust search. Core experience • Account creation open to every visitor, secured with standard email / social sign-on options. • A profile builder that captures work history, skills, portfolio items, links, and a profile photo. • Fast, filterable search so users can find one another by name, location, industry, skills, or keywords. • Scalable architecture that will later accommodate direct messaging, job posts, and similar social features without major re-work. Acceptance criteria • Responsive web app (desktop and mobile) running in a modern framework such as React, Vue, or Angular backed by a REST or GraphQL API. • Deployed to a cloud environment (AWS, GCP, or Azure) with basic CI/CD so updates roll out smoothly. • Fully documented codebase and a short hand-off guide covering environment setup, build commands, and future feature hooks. • GDPR-compliant user data handling and clear privacy settings for profile visibility. Hand-off is complete when a new user can register, create a profile, and appear in public search results without errors or dead links.
