Mission Objective

This is a simple application that scrapes and parses LinkedIn profiles, stores results in a structured manner in a persistent layer and allows searching on the stored results.

Backend service

Implements a RESTful API containing 3 endpoints:

  • Adding a public LinkedIn profile
  • Searching for people that were previously added
  • Searching for skills and viewing associated people

The service extracts the following fields from the public profile:

  • Name of the person
  • Current title
  • Current position
  • List of skills

UI

The UI allows users to:

  • submit new profiles by passing in a LinkedIn profile URL
  • submit searches (utilizing the service searching capabilities described above). Searches should either be by person name or by skill.

Notes

The application is built with high-volume in mind:

  • Several users will be adding profiles for parsing concurrently
  • The persistence layer may eventually contain millions of results. Searching through the results still needs to be effective.

Implementation details

  • Uses Postgres as the primary persistence layer (aka database)
  • Uses Bootstrap UI/CSS framework for styling
  • Uses Elm and The Elm Architecture for the Front-End
  • Uses JSON as the data exchange format between the client and the API service
  • Uses Minitest for testing
