*Why do you want to participate in the Google Summer of Code? What do you hope to gain by doing so?
**: I am currently an undergraduate in Computer Science and Engineering (Third year / Junior). My specialized field of study is Big Data and Machine Learning. Some of the courses in my current semester include Information Retrieval, Internet of Things and Digital Image Processing.  
**Please also describe your previous experience with the GSoC, if any. ''Includes any community-bonding, mentor experience or application, not necessarily accepted. We use this subquestion to identify which students are unfamiliar with how the program goes, providing further support. It has no negative impact on your rating!''
* Why are you choosing Octave?


* Why do you want to participate in the Google Summer of Code? What do you hope to gain by doing so?
*: I think Google Summer of Code is a great opportunity for me to jumpstart my presence in the open source community. I hope to gain knowledge and experience working in a professional working environment and meet new people in the process and gain some reputation in the open source community. ''For the <3 of < />''
** Please also describe your previous experience with the GSoC, if any.
**: This is my first experience with GSoC.
* Why are you choosing Octave?
*: Octave tries to become the open source alternative for MATLAB, and I believe in this ideology. Maybe that's why I like using Octave. Also, Octave has a great community of developers. They are welcoming and motivating.
