Personal background
I am a third year B.Tech. undergraduate at Indian Institute of Technology (ISM),
Dhanbad . I am pursuing Electronics and Communication Engineering as my Major. I
have a keen interest in Android App development. I use git and Github everyday and I
am well acquainted with how to use them for version control.

How did you hear about this program?

I heard about GSoC 1 year back in a college meetup. I am an open source enthusiast
from past 1 year, I've always wanted to take part in Google Summer of Code.

Time during Summers

I have no other commitments this summer. So I'll be able to give a 40 hours or more per
week. My summer break starts from 29th April so I can start working full time from that
day on. I'll not be taking any vacations. My classes start around 20th July but I will be
able to commit enough time for the project as there are no exams during the period

Eligible for Google Summer of Code and Outreachy ?

I am applying only for GSoC as I am not eligible for Outreachy program. I am applying
under Wikimedia Commons Android only.
