Excited to Contribute to Wikimedia Foundation - Wikitech-l

19 Dec 2024


      Hi Sir/Madam,
I hope you’re doing well.
I am Nidha Ahmed, and a junior undergraduate student studying Artificial
Intelligence and Data Science. I’m also going to join Google as an SWE
Intern next summer.
I’ve always been a huge admirer of the Wikimedia Foundation and its mission
to make free educational content accessible to everyone. It’s incredible
how your work empowers millions of learners around the globe, and I’m very
eager to be part of this impact.
I have experience with JavaScript, HTML, CSS, jQuery, ReactJS, and Python,
and I’ve dabbled a bit in Android development as well. While I’m new to PHP
and Ruby on Rails, I’m super excited to learn them! If you could share some
resources or tips to get started with these technologies, it would be a
huge help.
A little about me: I’ve worked on projects like a movie recommendation
system, a text summarization web app, and a geospatial analysis tool for
public health. I’ve also contributed to open-source initiatives like
designing real-time heatmaps for SoundScape. I’m looking to grow my skill
set, hence I’m so drawn to Wikimedia.
It would be helpful for me to get guidance on how to start contributing.
I’m genuinely excited about the chance to learn from your community and
support your amazing mission.
I'm attaching my resume below for reference and proofs.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Best regards,
Nidha Ahmed Mohammad.
