Hi, I’m Saahil A Vishwakarma, a passionate 3rd year student at the Indian Institute of Information Technology Dharwad with a strong technical foundation and a love for open-source development. My technical expertise spans Data Structures and Algorithms, C/C++, Python, JavaScript, Full-Stack Web Development, Version Control (Git and GitHub), AI/ML, Blockchain, OpenGL basics, and Mathematics for Engineering and Technology. Coupled with my Strong Communication Skills, ability to Work Collaboratively, and a knack for Teamwork, I believe I’m well-prepared to make meaningful contributions to Django’s vibrant community.

Open source has always fascinated me as a medium to collaborate with brilliant minds across the globe while solving real-world problems. My primary objective for GSoC 2025 is to Enhance my contributions to open source, Build a Strong Network, Develop Technical Skills, Collaborate Effectively, Achieve Project Milestones, Expand Community Involvement, Explore Career Opportunities and many more by learning from seasoned developers, creating impactful solutions, and embracing Django’s principles of simplicity, reusability, and rapid development.

Joining the Django organization for GSoC 2025 is not just a project opportunity for me—it’s a chance to immerse myself in a community that shapes the future of web development. I’m particularly excited to collaborate on Django’s robust ecosystem, contributing to tools that empower developers to build scalable, secure, and innovative applications.

I’m committed to:

  • Achieving project milestones with a structured and focused approach.
  • Producing high-quality code and documentation that is clear, concise, and reusable.
  • Seeking feedback actively and iterating to ensure that every contribution aligns with Django’s standards.
  • Collaborating effectively with mentors and contributors to foster a culture of learning and mutual growth.
  • Strengthening my technical expertise by diving deeper into Django’s core architecture and contributing to impactful projects.

Beyond GSoC, I aim to stay actively involved in the Django community, contributing to its long-term success while inspiring others to explore open source. This program is a stepping stone to achieving my broader goal of leveraging open-source technology to drive innovation and inclusivity.

I am eager to bring my work ethic, discipline, and enthusiasm to the Django organization, contributing to its mission while growing as a developer and a collaborator. Let’s build something impactful together!

Now i just want to conclude hoping that my request will get accepted, and looking forward to your response.
