Week 1	June 1 – 7	This week, I explored the `openmf/mobile-wallet` codebase with a focus on its modular architecture and Kotlin Multiplatform setup, including how platform-specific logic is managed using Compose Multiplatform. I mapped the proposed C4GT features—like the merchant payments and Auto-Pay Bills modules—onto the existing architecture. Additionally, I contributed to the `openmf/android-client` project by migrating a feature module to Compose Multiplatform, reviewing multiple PRs (#2396, #2386, #2370), and identifying a critical issue in the network layer, which I documented via Jira (MIFOSAC-449).	MIFOSAC-416 - Getting issue details... STATUS	https://github.com/openMF/android-client/pull/2389
Week 2	June 8 – 14	This week, I worked on the `feature/path-tracking` module of the `openmf/android-client`, where I explored Google Maps API integration and the use of Android components like `LocationManager`, `BroadcastReceiver`, and `Service` for location updates. I migrated and merged the module to Compose Multiplatform, analyzing how to separate shared and platform-specific logic. I also deep-dived into the `feature/client` module, examining File I/O, Camera APIs, and form flows, while identifying tightly-coupled Android dependencies needing abstraction for CMP compatibility. A draft PR was created to document this progress. Additionally, I collaborated on navigation architecture discussions, proposed abstraction strategies for Android SDK dependencies, and reviewed multiple PRs (#2402, #2403, #2396, #2394, #2391, #2369, #2382). While not directly aligned with my C4GT proposal, this work laid essential groundwork for platform-agnostic design.	MIFOSAC-425 - Getting issue details...

🗓️ Monthly Reflection Reports

📆 June 2025

What did you learn this month?
- Deepened my practical understanding of Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) and Compose Multiplatform (CMP), especially for migrating large, Android-heavy features.
- Learned how to handle complex Android SDK components (e.g., Google Maps API, location updates, file handling, camera) and abstract them for cross-platform use.
- Improved debugging skills for resolving tricky integration bugs post-migration.
- Enhanced my collaboration and review skills by actively contributing feedback and architecture discussions with teammates.
What were your main achievements?
- Successfully migrated multiple feature modules in android-client to Compose Multiplatform:
  - checker-inbox-task
  - path-tracking
  - client (including 12+ sub-features)
- Fixed and tested sub-features (client-identifiers, client-identifiers-dialog, client-charges) to ensure stable functionality after migration.
- Raised and reviewed significant PRs across android-client, mobile-wallet, mifos-passcode-cmp, and mifos-mobile repositories.
- Identified architectural improvements for future-proofing KMP adoption in the project.
What blockers did you face, and how did you resolve them?
- Encountered tight Android-only dependencies (Context, File, Uri) while refactoring — tackled by exploring expect/actual abstractions and interface-based separation.
- Faced integration bugs (e.g., improper screen states, navigation issues, silent failures) — resolved through detailed testing, iterative PRs, and quick bug fixes.
- No major unresolved blockers — I stayed in sync with mentors and teammates via daily standups and Slack channels to get quick feedback whenever needed.
