        abstract = {Professional networking plays an important role in career growth and knowledge sharing. Existing networking platforms are often complex for students and beginners. To solve this issue, ProConnect is developed as a simple and user-friendly professional networking web application for students and young professionals.
The platform allows users to create professional profiles, connect with others, create posts, and interact through likes and comments. Users can also search professionals based on skills and interests.
ProConnect is developed using React.js for frontend development, Spring Boot for backend services, and MySQL/PostgreSQL for database management. JWT authentication is used to ensure secure communication and data protection.
This research provides a secure, scalable, and efficient networking platform focused on professional growth and collaboration.},
