Graph Database to Search Similar Projects

I built a web crawler and a Neo4j graph database to ease the process of searching for similar projects for a consulting firm. It is based on an NLP algorithmic approach that enables finding the most similar terms.

The existing solution was not very responsive and provided unreliable results making it barely used.
