* Google Summer of Code is an excellent opportunity for a student like me to work with other developers on sophisticated software that has a lot of users. I hope to become a better and more experienced developer and to hone my soft skills by collaborating with the developers/maintainers of Octave.

* Last GSoC, I Worked on a project​ that enriched GNU Octave with built-in support​ for JSON. I developed functions to encode/decode JSON using​ C++​ and unit tests using ​Octave. My project​ was integrated into the main repository of GNU Octave[https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2020/projects/5567022663991296/].
* I Worked with a team to make a Verilog model for MIPS processor, an assembler for MIPS, a GUI where user can write assembly code and run it and an automated test for the Verilog model. my role over time was

* I am trying to add the new functions "startsWith" and "endsWith" to octave[https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57041]. I have already submitted a patch and got feedback from the maintainers and waiting for their evaluation after the modifications.

* I heard about Octave approximately two years ago in my college as an open source alternative for MATLAB since we have projects that used MATLAB and we needed a software with similar capabilities.

* The first question concerning Octave I could not find an answer to rather quickly was how to add to the build system. With some searching and help from IRC channel and maintainers I was able to solve it.

* I prefer to discuss changes and to have a good vision about them before starting to code. Surely, all the details may not be clear and need further search but having a good general view about the system helps a lot and directs your search and your efforts to fruitful paths.

* Prototypes definitely helps you understand what you are trying to do so coding and modifying them (with the risk to throw them away) may be useful to have a better understanding and a better implementation of the requirements.

* I am interested in the "Jupyter Notebook Integration" project.
* This project aims to support running (and filling) Jupyter Notebook within GNU Octave. This would enable Jupyter Notebook users to evaluate long-running Octave Notebooks on a computing server without a permanent browser connection, which is still a pending issue.
