** I'm a self-taught programmer per say, and have learned a lot from the open source community. I'm and will always be grateful to the Open Source community for the same. Hence, I think Google Summer of Code will be a great opportunity to learn more about the development process of applications and provide me a head-start to return to the community. | |||
** 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!'' | ** Please also describe your previous experience with the GSoC, if any.

** I was introduced to Octave while attempting the Coursera course on Machine Learning by Andrew NG. Since then I've found it quite useful mostly because the problem statements in my areas of interest, as mentioned above, can easily be modeled in Octave. | |||
