Synopsis
- Short summary describing your project and how it will benefit Wikimedia projects:
After reviewing the Project Ideas of the Organization. I understood that this project aims to convert some home-pages into HTML templates so that they can run through the same build-step as www.wikipedia.org. For this project, I will be utilizing skills in HTML and CSS syntax as well as Handlebars templates, JavaScript, Node.js scripts and a build-step powered by Gulp.js. Wikimedia sisters portal will be having modern look with faster page load.
I am very much willing to introduce some more features which allow greater and richer engagement. . I am certain that I have the necessary skills to successfully do the project adeptly and perform above expectations.

About Me
- Education
I’m a third-year (5th Semester) student pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Information Technology at Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology, WB. I also managed to accrue 4 years of experience in Web Development. In my free time I love to contribute to open source projects and solve programming problems. I learned valuable professional skills such as database development, server scripting, application deployment and management, cloud computing, etc. Weather working on academic, extracurricular, or professional projects, I apply proven teamwork, problem-solving and technical skills.
- How did you hear about this program?
I have heard about GSoC via linkedIn, Twitter. Later researched from Youtube and GSoC official website.
- Will you have any other time commitments, such as school work, another job, planned vacation, etc, during the duration of the program?
No, I don't have any other commitments during the program. Due to pandemic college will remain close, thus my academic workload would remain negligible.
- We advise all candidates eligible for Google Summer of Code and Outreachy to apply for both programs. Are you planning to apply to both programs and, if so, with what organization(s)?
No, I don't have any plan to apply for Outreachy..
- What does making this project happen mean to you?
I am very much interested in the ways this project can help me grow personally and professionally. For the shake of this project I gained knowledge about Gulp JS and Handlebars. I firmly believe that these skills would help me in my upcoming projects. Working on this project will mean a lot to me in terms of personal satisfaction too. I am excited to hone my collaboration skills by working with others and to have the chance to see some glimpses into my future career path.
