About Me
• I am a second year degree student pursuing B.Sc. in Computer Science at Bayero University Kano. Wikimedia is an org that really makes an impact , I got interested in participating in developing a tool to correct false depicts claims manually on Wikimedia.
• My semester will complete in later in the summer leaving me enough time to get ready for my GSoC project. If I am selected, I shall be able to work around 40 hours a week on the project, though am open to putting in more effort if the work requires. This is my first participation in GSoC. During the summer GSoC will be my first priority since I won't have any other commitments during this period.
• I am skilled with python, JavaScript, html, css. looking forward to work with you
