Showcase

Showcase is a REST-based webservice developed for the "Service Technologies" course at Politecnico di Milano during my second year of Master, realized with Django and deployed on Google App Engine.

Showcase allows users to expose all their creations in a single place, allowing them to create their own personal professional portfolio. Moreover, thanks to the strong interconnection between Showcase and social networks, users can increase the visibility of their projects and get in touch with other professionals.

As special feature, Showcase offers a service that automatically finds the best professionals that can help a user carrying on his projects.
