Web Platform for Sharing Technical Equipment and Human Resources in the Cultural Sector

This bachelor thesis focuses on the design and implementation of the TechWatch web platform, which serves for sharing technical equipment and human resources within the cultural sector. The primary objective of the work is to digitize and centralize processes that have previously been handled inefficiently within this community through informal communication channels. The text documents the entire development process, ranging from initial research and user needs analysis to system architecture design, user interface development, and final implementation and testing. The technical solution is built on a modern architecture separating a Laravel-based backend and a React-based frontend. The application integrates advanced features such as real-time notifications (Laravel Reverb), media management in object storage (Cloudflare R2), and secure authentication using a hybrid token model. The development followed an iterative approach with effective support from artificial intelligence tools, enabling high code quality and rapid prototyping. The functionality and security of the system were verified through 62 test scenarios and user testing involving five participants. The result of the thesis is a fully functional web application deployed in a production environment at techwatch.app. The platform successfully streamlines operations within the technical sphere of the cultural sector, increases transparency regarding resource availability, and establishes a technological foundation for future development.
