Hi everyone,

I am Ayan Sarkar, a B.Tech undergrad from West Bengal, India. I am delighted to be a part of the Wikimedia Foundation for GSoC'22. As part of GSoC, I'll be working on Wikimedia Commons App. My primary focus would be to improve the custom image selector by making it easier for contributors to choose images for upload and reducing the chance of uploading the undesirable images to the Commons. For more information about the project, please consider reading my post mentioned below. *Post Link* - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#GSoC%2722%3A_Improvi...

Huge thanks to my mentors, all the Wikimedia Commons members and collaborators, and all the members of the Wikimedia Foundation for their continuous guidance and support.

Till now, it's been a great learning experience with Wikimedia Foundation, looking forward to a really productive summer.

Thanks Ayan Sarkar
