I'm a 3rd year student in Computer-Science which has a 4 year bachelor program.
I'm mostly interested in computer architecture, low level programming and computer networks.
I'm currently a junior Cisco instructor, a teaching assistant on course named "Computer Architecture and Assembly Language" and I'm contributing with teaching materials for a course named "Communication Protocols".

I have no previous experience with GSoC
* Why are you choosing Octave?
* Why are you choosing Octave?
I'm choosing Octave mainly because it's a well developed project and because of the subproject that I'm looking forward: "Improve MPI package".
I've had a good grasp of Distributed Computing in a course from the past semester, and I also feel qualified as I have good knowledge in computer networks and communication protocols.
