Hello Sir,
I am Mayank Kumar, currently studying in Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani, India. I am pursuing a dual major in Civil Engineering and Biological Sciences.
I have been into programming since my high school. I scored 100% and 98% marks in Computer Science in my 10th and 12th grade respectively. In my freshman year, I was the top 10 (in a batch of 900-1000 people) and scored an A grade in the Computer Programming course. I am proficient in C++ and have amateur experience in JAVA. I have also done some application development for Windows phone. I am very enthusiastic and eager to do open-source programming at a professional level.
I have been through the list of project ideas that are posted on your website. I would really love to work on some of the projects. The ideas which intrigue me and I feel I would be successful in executing are:
-Improve Octave's image IO
I would love to work with you guys and would like to discuss further about the projects and my prospects of being accepted in your organisation for GSoC 2016.
Thanking you,
Mayank Kumar
