ABSTRACT
ProjectConnect is a web-based recommender system that intends to help software developers recruit for projects and find projects to participate in. Many existing networking platforms do not have any features dedicated specifically to establishing connections with others who want to work on side projects. ProjectConnect solves this issue by functioning as a platform that enables software developers with ideas for projects to seek out others who may be interested in joining their project. Software projects come in many forms, such as open-source projects, school projects, extracurricular activities like hackathons, and project-based companies. ProjectConnect can solve difficulties in recruiting other developers that can occur in all of these contexts.
