Abstract

This report outlines the development and implementation of Fusion an innovative business networking application to connect entrepreneurs, business professionals and investors based on their location and business sector. I began this project to address the inefficiencies in traditional networking methods by using technology to bring people together to network.

Within this report I have discussed in detail the requirements of the application, use case diagrams, design, implementation, testing, GUIs and conclusion.

The implementation section goes into detail about the use of Firebase for authentication, ensuring secure and seamless user login, and Firestore for real-time messaging capabilities. The recommendation algorithm, powered by CreateML uses linear regression to analyse user data such as business field and locations.

The geohashing algorithm, converts geographic coordinates into strings. Together, these algorithms ensure that users receive highly relevant and personalized connection recommendations, enhancing the overall effectiveness of Fusion’s recommendations.

The results of this project demonstrate Fusion’s potential to enhance professional networking by providing a platform to do so. The conclusion highlight’s the app’s innovative approach to connect. Fusion is determined to make an impact in the networking space and providing valuable connections for its users.
