Yes, I have contacted the mentors through Wikimedia's Zulip chat. ===Deliverables Describe the timeline of your work with deadlines and milestones, broken down week by week. Make sure to include time you are planning to allocate for investigation, coding, deploying, testing and documentation ===Participation Describe how you plan to communicate progress and ask for help, where you plan to publish your source code, etc ===About Me Tell us about a few: - Your education (completed or in progress) - How did you hear about this program? - Will you have any other time commitments, such as school work, another job, planned vacation, etc, during the duration of the program? - 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)? - What does making this project happen mean to you? ===Past Experience - Please add links to any feature or bug fix you have written for a Wikimedia project during the application phase. - Describe any relevant projects that you've worked on previously and what knowledge you gained from working on them. - Describe any open source projects you have contributed to as a user and contributor (include links). ===Other Information Add any other relevant information such as UI mockups, references to related projects, a link to your proof of concept code, etc While I have a good number of open-sourced projects under my belt, I do not have first-hand experience actually contributing to an open-source project that people actually use. I believe that this program would be a good starter to build a valuable network in the community and get started with active open-source participation and contribution.

Yes, I have contacted the mentors through Wikimedia's Zulip chat. ===Deliverables Describe the timeline of your work with deadlines and milestones, broken down week by week. Make sure to include time you are planning to allocate for investigation, coding, deploying, testing and documentation ===Participation Describe how you plan to communicate progress and ask for help, where you plan to publish your source code, etc ===About Me =====Education I completed my bachelor's in computer science with distinction from Amrita University, which hosts one of India's top computer science programs. =====How did you hear about this program? I have known GSoC for a long time and have even submitted a proposal last year: https://akashsuper2000.github.io/blog/gsoc-2020-proposal =====Will you have any other time commitments, such as school work, another job, planned vacation, etc, during the duration of the program? I am working as a Software Development Engineer for less than a year (after my graduation in 2021). However, I have been accepted into a prestigious University in the United States for my Master's in Computer Science. Therefore, I would be available throughout the program, except for 1-2 weeks for my relocation. Please be informed that neither my job nor the relocation would affect my ability to contribute to the program. =====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)? I am only applying through the Google Summer of Code program. =====What does making this project happen mean to you? Wikimedia's mission is to bring free education to the world, a mission that deeply resonates with me. This opportunity allows me to directly improve this system while being able to learn new technologies, build critical infrastructure, and network with people who also share this goal. Specific to this project, I would be able to put my data science skills to good use by enabling users to understand the impact of various campaigns which translates to a more efficient financial expenditure in order to grow this community. ===Past Experience =====Describe any relevant projects that you've worked on previously and what knowledge you gained from working on them. Throughout my undergraduate years, I was also involved with projects in web development that enabled me to build solutions that had an immediate impact. Some of the projects include the 'Faculty Dashboard' that aims to solve the need for a centralized portal for the faculty of my institution and the 'Voice-based transport inquiry system' with an inbuilt voice IO system. My efforts in a diverse set of projects are complemented by my involvement in hackathons and competitions. I have participated in numerous Kaggle competitions, securing multiple medals to rank among the top 200 globally. I have also participated in CTF contests where my team ranked top 100 nationally for two consecutive years. =====Describe any open source projects you have contributed to as a user and contributor (include links). While I have a good number of open-sourced projects under my belt, I do not have first-hand experience actually contributing to an open-source project that people actually use. I believe that this program would be a good starter to building valuable connections in the community and get started with active open-source participation and contribution. ===Other Information
