GSoC 2026 Introduction — Cytoscape App Store project

[zafar]

Hi Kristina,

I'm Malekuz Zafar Qadri, a student from IIT Guwahati applying for GSoC 2026 under NRNB, specifically for the Cytoscape App Store catalog project mentored by Chris Churas.

I've been contributing to the codebase over the past few months (5 PRs, 3 issues, most recently PR #138 which starts the core schema work from my submitted GSoC proposal) and wanted to briefly introduce myself at the org level.

I'm genuinely excited about NRNB's mission around open-source biological network tools and hope to contribute meaningfully beyond just the GSoC period.

Looking forward to potentially working with the org this summer.

Best,
Malekuz Zafar Qadri,
