I am a second-year undergraduate C.S student at Amrita School of Engineering, Bengaluru, India. I am a Data science enthusiast and a python developer. I am familiar with numpy , pandas & matplotlib as well . I also have experience working with the Linux OS.
I think the most natural way to get started would be making some small yet related contributions to the project. Do you have such small fixes that could be assigned to me? Besides that, I would really appreciate any form of suggestions or information about how the project could be completed. I really love to work with wikimedia foundation for the GSoC-2019 and much passionate about contributing to the wikimedia community. Will be looking forward for your positive reply.
Best, K. Kaushik Reddy.
