Introduction

My name is Sakshi Grover, hailing from Satara, a small town in Maharashtra, India. I am currently a second-year undergraduate student at Usha Mittal Institute of Technology, SNDT University, Mumbai. I am pursuing my Bachelor’s  in Computer Science and Technology. My love for coding developed after I stumbled upon Raspberry Pi and ended up creating a Smart Mirror for a project in the second semester of my engineering course. It inspired me to further plunge into the world of IoT and Machine Learning.

So far, I have developed a website for a client and I am currently developing an application for the same. I am extremely curious by nature, and my love for electronics makes me think about various ways for interfacing software and hardware. To be a part of the prestigious Google Summer of Code along with technical skills it is highly important for a person to be enthusiastic and have a calm and peaceful mind.

GSoC will help me understand more about open source technologies and their real life applications besides giving me the much needed hands on exposure. I am sure to commit 5-7 hours daily for this fascinating project. Also, I would like to remain a part of GSoC post the program, as learning has no end.

Technical Background

General- PostgreSQL, mySQL, Google firebase, flutter, Basics of Machine learning,Shell Scripting

Languages- C, C++, Python, Java, Javascript, GNU Octave

Development- Web Development(Wix,HTML/CSS), Android App Development

Libraries- Tensorflow, NumPy  

Primarily, I have worked with ansible for python on debian os for raspberry pi. Also, I have worked on shell scripting on Linux. I have read many papers on Network State Management to operate independently. It would be a great opportunity to work for Fedora as this would help be increase my understanding and efficiency in using open source operating systems.
