Project Idea | Properkodo

Project Title: Properkodo

Introduction: Users have to mention their usernames for different websites separately in their resume and it becomes a difficult task for recruiters to open each link and see user’s activity/problems solved especially when candidates are more. The idea is to create a web portal that shows all the data of the user from all the competitive programming websites and GitHub contributions and projects through charts and graphs. When the user enters his/her details the portal will generate a unique username for that candidate and now he can mention this username in his resume and recruiters/company will just have to enter this unique username and the user’s activity will be displayed on the web page via charts and graphs.

Features:
Student:

• Simple User authentication.
• Can enter all their details and get a unique username.
• Get a page of their own (https://properkodo.com/users/unique_username), showing user’s activity and certificates (if uploaded).
• Beautiful charts and graphs
• User can mention the link in his/her resume.

Companies:

• Can go to the link and see user’s activity and certificates.
