As an ungergrad I am following a programme that leads me to a major in Electronic Engineering and a minor in Physics, that means that I have expirience in subjects such as Control Theory, Signal Analysis on one side, and Quantum Physics and Thermodynamics on the other; all with a strong mathematical background.

I have been following the FSF for a long time, and I wanted to contribute with actual code. I hope to learn how programming is done outside of the sandboxed problems I have done until now.
I hope to learn how programming is done outside of the sandboxed problems I have done until now (at Uni) while contributing to free software. Besides, I have been following the FSF for a long time, and a free software user for longer, so this can be a way of giving back.

Needless to say, they tried to push Matlab to all the students, and I got by with Gnu-Octave, for which I am thankful to the whole developer team.
