I am particularly enthusiastic about this opportunity because of my strong background in both engineering and machine learning. Alongside my major, I am pursuing minors in Machine Learning with Python, where I have gained hands-on experience in applying machine learning algorithms to solve various real-world problems.
One of my notable projects involved the development of an Elephant Detection and Public Alert System, where I utilized OpenCV to detect elephant presence in forested areas and trigger alerts to nearby communities, ensuring the safety of both humans and wildlife. Additionally, I have also contributed to projects like the VLM Smart Segregator, where OpenCV played a crucial role in image processing and analysis for waste segregation based on visual inputs.
Through these experiences, I have developed a strong foundation in image processing, computer vision, and software development, which I believe would make me a valuable contributor to GSoC. I am eager to further enhance my skills, collaborate with mentors and peers, and contribute meaningfully to open-source projects during the program.
I am looking forward to the opportunity to work with the open-source community through GSoC and contribute towards creating impactful solutions. Thank you for considering my application.
Warm regards,
