    • Malayalam (native), English (upper-intermediate), Hindi (upper-intermediate), Marathi (Intermediate).
    • I have a good background in electronic and electric circuits, mathematics (linear algebra, numerical analysis and calculus), computer science(data structure , oop, database management), robotics, cryptography and optical sciences.
  • To contribute in an open-source project , see a large software , work with a team and learn from community , deal with other cultures , all these skills i need to get before graduating , i hope to get best benefit from it.
    • I don't have any previous experience with the GSOC.
  • After searching and seeing a lot of organizations and projects , i found that octave has some interesting and understandable ideas (projects) that i like to work on , so i decided to work with octave.

C: Contact

  • Nick name on IRC: vispar
  • I live in Mumbai, India. My location won't change over GSOC duration.
  • I usually code around 8.00 to 18.00 and could also try to start earlier for few days.

E: Coding experience

  • I have a Strong knowledge of C++ and used it in many projects.
  • I have used octave and scilab for audio filtering applications. It was a part of college curriculum.
  • I have a good knowledge of Python, JavaScript.
  • I have experience using Postgresql for database management.

O: Only out of interest

  • I heard about octave two years ago in college as an open source alternative for MATLAB and have been using it for our digital signal processing, data compression, numerical techniques lab

P: Prerequisites

  • I Windows 10 home with an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS VM
  • I have my own laptop and a good internet connection at home.
    • I can access internet connection any time during the day
    • I estimate that i can code for 6 to 9 hours a day .
  • This is my machine , i can access it anytime i want and install any software.

S: Self-assessment

  • Please describe how useful criticism looks from your point of view as committing student.
  • How autonomous are you when developing:
    • Do you like to discuss changes intensively and not start coding until you know what you want to do?
    • Do you like to code a proof of concept to 'see how it turns out', modifying that and taking the risk of having work thrown away if it doesn't match what the project or original proponent had in mind?

Y: Your task

  • Did you select a task from our list of proposals and ideas?
    • If yes, what task did you choose? Please describe what part of it you especially want to focus on if you can already provide this information. Please also wiki-link the page for your elaborated proposal here.
  • Please provide a rough estimated timeline for your work on the task. This should include the GSoC midterms and personal commitments like exams or vacation ("non-coding time"). If possible, include two or three milestones you expect.
