Hello NumFOCUS community! 👋
My name is Hyndhava Mahesh, a final-year AI & ML undergraduate at Woxsen University , currently interning at the Woxsen AI Research Centre where I work on retrieval-augmented generation and enterprise AI systems.
I'm planning to apply for GSoC 2026 with NumFOCUS and wanted to connect early with mentors and community members.
My background:
Project I'm interested in: The Scalable Online Bayesian State Space Models project - building GPU-accelerated inference using JAX/Numba and distributed computing via Ray. This aligns with my ML modeling experience and my interest in probabilistic systems.
I'm currently going through the PyMC documentation and the GSoC ideas list. I would love to connect with the relevant mentor to understand the project better and find a good first issue to contribute to.

Happy to be here and excited to contribute! 🙏
