Expor: seu mundo profissional em destaque por meio de portfólios digitais personalizados.

Abstract

This paper presents the technical report on the development of EXPOR, a web platform aimed at the creation, organization, and dissemination of personalized digital portfolios for creative economy professionals, such as designers, photographers, videomakers, illustrators, and developers. The proposal stemmed from the observation that generic platforms and social networks were not specifically designed for building professional portfolios, which can compromise information clarity, project curation, and the valorization of authorial work. The research, of an exploratory and descriptive nature with a qualitative approach, adopted the incremental software development model, enabling the progressive delivery of features throughout the process. Based on requirements elicitation and analysis, a platform was developed that allows user registration and authentication, the selection of pre-structured portfolio templates (aimed at the photography, systems development, and nutrition fields), the customization of text, images, and colors for each template, and the publication of the portfolio on a public page accessible through a unique link. The system was implemented using Next.js, React, and TypeScript on the front-end and back-end, with Supabase for authentication, PostgreSQL database, and image storage, hosted on the Vercel platform. The proposal was validated through a structured Likert-scale questionnaire applied to 27 participants, whose results showed high agreement regarding the usefulness of the proposed features and the intention to use the platform. The results obtained demonstrate the technical feasibility of the proposal and its alignment with the defined objectives, reinforcing the potential of the digital portfolio as a strategic instrument for communication and professional valorization within the creative economy.
