features like editing or deleting projects. Consider using a framework like React or
Vue.js for a more dynamic experience if you’re comfortable with JavaScript frame-
works!

4.1 Data Design

1. Database Schema Overview

Database Type: Relational (e.g., PostgreSQL or MySQL) for structured, scalable

storage.

Main Tables: The database will include tables for users, portfolios, templates, AI-
generated suggestions, and export logs.

Schema Design: Define the structure and explanation of schemas used in your
project.

Data Integrity and Constraints: Define and explain all the validity checks and con-
straints you are providing to maintain data integrity.

4.1.1 Schema Design

4.1.2 Data Integrity and Constraints

Data Type Constraints: Each attribute must hold data of the correct type. User.email
must be a valid email format (VARCHAR). Portfolio.is draft must be a Boolean
value. Portfolio Section.section type must be an ENUM with defined values (e.g.,
’Experience’, ’Education’, ’Skills’). Export Log.status must be an ENUM (e.g.,
’Successful’, ’Failed’).

4.2 Procedural Design

Procedural design is a systematic way for developing algorithms or procedurals.

4.2.2 Data Structures

The data structure for the AI-Powered Portfolio Builder project is designed to ef-
ficiently manage user accounts, portfolios, and associated content. It consists of
several key tables:

User Table stores account information, including a unique identifier, username, email
(which must be unique), encrypted password, optional profile picture, and times-
tamps for account creation and last login.

Portfolio Table holds details about each user’s portfolio, such as the portfolio ID,
user ID (as a foreign key), title, chosen template ID, a draft status indicator, the
last updated timestamp, and a URL for accessing the exported PDF version.

Portfolio Section Table organizes the individual sections within each portfolio, de-
tailing the section type (like Experience, Education, or Skills), content stored in
JSON format, and an order attribute for displaying sections in a specific sequence.

Template Table contains information about available portfolio templates, including

the template ID, name, description, layout data in JSON format, and the creator’s
information.

AI Suggestions Table captures AI-generated suggestions for enhancing portfolio sec-

tions, linking to both the user and section IDs, along with the suggestion text and
the timestamp of its creation.

Export Log Table records each instance a portfolio is exported, documenting the
export ID, portfolio ID, export date, file size, and status of the export.

session handling, including timeout policies and secure session tokens. 2. Data Pro-
tection Data Encryption: Encrypt sensitive data both in transit (using HTTPS) and
at rest (database encryption). Secure API Access: Use token-based authentication
(like JWT) for API access to prevent unauthorized access. 3. Input Validation and
Sanitization SQL Injection: Use prepared statements and parameterized queries to
prevent SQL injection attacks. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Sanitize user inputs and
outputs to prevent XSS vulnerabilities, especially in portfolio content. Cross-Site
Request Forgery (CSRF): Implement CSRF tokens to protect against unauthorized
actions performed on behalf of authenticated users. 4. User Data Privacy Data
Minimization: Collect only the data necessary for the application’s functionality to
reduce exposure risk. Privacy Policies: Clearly communicate to users how their data
will be used, stored, and protected, adhering to regulations like GDPR or CCPA.
5. File Upload Security File Validation: Restrict file types and sizes for uploads
(e.g., profile pictures, exported PDFs) to prevent malicious file uploads. Malware
Scanning: Implement scanning for uploaded files to detect malware or other threats
