Dear Mentors, I hope you are doing well.
I am writing to formally submit my proposal for Google Summer of Code with Apache AsterixDB. I am genuinely excited about the opportunity to contribute to the project and to work closely with the community during the GSoC period. Through my preparation, I have taken time to explore the AsterixDB codebase and have performed unit tests on the Asterix side to verify the behavior of various parameters and classes. This hands-on experience has helped me understand the structure of the system and how its components interact. I have also pushed the unit tests I developed to GitHub, reflecting my effort to engage with the project in a practical and consistent manner. My background in Java, along with my experience in web development and systems-level programming concepts, has prepared me to work effectively on this project. I am comfortable navigating large codebases, debugging issues, and continuously learning new concepts as required. I will be available during the summer and committed to dedicating significant time to the project. While I do have some pre-planned travel, I will inform my mentor well in advance and ensure that my work remains on track. I am also comfortable with asynchronous communication via mailing lists and will provide regular updates on my progress. Thank you for your time and consideration. I would be grateful for the opportunity to contribute to AsterixDB and learn from the community. Sincerely, Ratnadeep Mohanta
