Dear Mentors, I am writing to express my strong interest in participating in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2023 and contributing to the SkyWalking BanyanDB project: Background. Yihao Chen, a current Mentor to this ecosystem(SkyWalking), suggested that I try this project as I am approaching late to the mentors, and I am excited to explore the opportunity.
After going through the project description and objectives, I believe that I can make a valuable contribution to the project. As a computer science student with a strong background in database systems and query optimization, I am confident in my ability to fully unify/merge the query planner and executor for Measure and TopN, which is one of the project's objectives. I understand that the deadline for the GSoC application is approaching, and I apologize for the late submission. However, I am highly motivated and committed to working on this project, and believe that my skills and experience align well with the requirements. In the past, I have participated in contests and contributed, which has given me experience in working in a collaborative environment and using version control systems such as Git. Furthermore, my experience working with similar technologies, such as Elasticsearch and MongoDB, will be beneficial in contributing to this project. I am eager to learn more about how I can contribute to the SkyWalking BanyanDB project and look forward to hearing back from you. Please let me know if there are any specific skills or areas of expertise that you are looking for in potential GSoC participants. What to do next to successfully apply to this project. I know I am approaching you late for this project, But I can definitely say, I will be a better option for this project. Can I submit a proposal for this project? Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Rahul Raj
