Synopsis
This project aims to enhance the My Dashboard page of Wiki Education Dashboard Android app with the following features:
- The total number of user participation (based on the number of programs created, and the number of courses enrolled) on the top end of the page
- Display percentage to compare user participation among users according to user participation value.
- An automatic/semi-auto recommendation ViewPager or RecyclerView list along with a title and a brief explanation for each image/card below the user participation part and above user's programs list to recommend existing Programs, Campaigns, or Activity Courses based on the number of reviews or enrollments factors.
Mentor: @Ujjwalagrawal17 (Android development, Kotlin, Code-Review)

About Me
I am currently working as a junior Android front-end developer. I have only completed a 2 years diploma degree in Computer Science & Info System program at Douglas College, New Westminster, BC, Canada, and decided to involve in practical programming works.
I am eligible for the Outreachy round 19, and this is the first time for me to access the open-source software area. I hope I can gain more professional and practical working experience in the field of Android development.
Past Experience
I have worked as a junior Android front-end developer and a usual app tester for a software company that makes e-commerce platform in Android, iOS, and web. During the work, I have used both Java and Kotlin for implementing new features or fixing bugs of Android applications. I also have created some personal Android projects and exercises (Java) repositories on GitHub in order to gain more front-end development experiences.
