“Prodmais is a versatile tool designed to aggregate academic production information from the Lattes database, allowing users to perform customized searches and discover comprehensive information about researchers and their academic contributions.

The creators of Prodmais are Alexsandro Cardoso and Tiago Murakami, and this project is maintained by STI, with Tiago Murakami serving as the lead programmer. And my role in this project was to develop a comprehensive branding strategy, including the creation of a logo mark, visual identity, frontend redesign, an online mini manual, and a promotional hotsite.

Coding

Prodmais was developed using PHP, ElasticSearch, and Bootstrap. I replaced Bootstrap with my own code using SASS, to get more personalized results. To follow the ideas of the DRY, I rewrite some PHP parts in component form. You can see these components here..

Dockerizing Prodmais

I also made a config to use Prodmais in a container. This streamlined my day-to-day and kept my Linux system clean of PHP settings. Here are the files to Dockerizing Prodmais.
