New Contributor Introduction: Daniel Chinweze - Preparing for GSoC 2026

[chisomdaniel]

Hello everyone,

My name is Daniel. I’m new to open-source contributions and GSoC, but I’ve been an avid Django user for a while and would love to give back to the framework directly. I have a solid foundation in Python, JavaScript, and Node.js.

I’d appreciate any guidance or pointers on where to start, and I look forward to making meaningful contributions to the Django project. Thank you!
