Hello Everyone!
My name is Shlok and I am a sophomore in Computer Engineering at the University of Hong Kong. I have been a developer in Python(primarily) since my freshman year at University, and so far, it has been a fruitful experience. I have worked at startups and university projects, taking the aid of OpenCv, Numpy, pillow, matplotlib and machine learning (to name a few), to develop applications suitable to the required need. One of the things I cherish most about Python is the extreme versatility it possesses , when development is concerned. Since my studies also involve the subjects of computer architecture and system, programming coupled with the hardware logic has cemented the centric position in my curiosity.

Mathematics seemed very different, especially when Eigenspaces were introduced to me. I was aware of mathematical equations being used , designed to satisfy spacial and geometric constraints. Sage seems extremely fascinating to me, and I would be indebted if I could get to contribute!

I have slightly delayed my introduction on this forum, but better late than never!
Cheers!
Shlok

Dear Shlok Sinha,

Thanks for your interest in SageMath. If you want to postulate for
a GSoC with us, you should start becoming familiar with SageMath
environment (which is Python based) and development. You should
have a look at

- the developer guide: https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/developer/
(and more generally SageMath documentation
https://doc.sagemath.org/html/)

- the trac website where all development happens
https://trac.sagemath.org/

- and our list of projects and mentors for 2020
https://wiki.sagemath.org/GSoC/2020

You can already start contributing to some simple tickets to get
familiar with the development framework.

Best regards
Vincent

Hello Vincent!
Thank you so much for your response. I may have posted this hello message twice, so I apologise for that. I have been working on tickets for a while now and am working on proposal as of now. Will keep you guys updated on my progress!
