I am Amit Magar a graduate student pursuing masters in Computer Science from Rochester Institute of Technology. I am specializing in Computer Networks and Artificial Intelligence. I have 8 years formal education in Computer Science.
I have 3 years of professional works experience at Accenture. Currently, I am working at Genex Services, Pensylvania as Intern in Advanced Analytics.
In my work experience I worked on Integration of heterogeneous services, packaged and legacy applications (more than 20 applications) using Enterprise Service Bus, Web Services, and JMS queue. Our Continuous Integration stack (DevOps) included Jenkins, GIT, Chef Server and Nexus so I have good knowledge of these Tools. I am well versed in Java, SoftwarPython, XML and Docker technologies too. I have closely worked on each phase of Software development life cycle.
I always wanted to do open source contribution, my long-term goal is to become a contributor(Github) open source code. I think GSoC is good platform to start open source contribution where I will mentorship from experience open source contributor and will get chance interact with open source community which will be helpful for future contribution in open source.
Jenkins caught my attention because I have used Jenkins before for Continuous Integration.I have gone through the detailed information of "Jenkins Remoting over Message Bus/Queue" project. I am particularly interested in "Jenkins Remoting over Message Bus/Queue" Because my previous work experience in Java, JMS queues will be helpful here and I will be able actively to contribute from day 1.
You can find more information about me on below links,
I would like to request mentors to give me some guidance here as well as in office hour to formulate a good proposal.
Thanks and Regard,
Amit Magar
