Hi everyone, I am looking for a mentor that could help me to get on board with Zeppelin. Please see my summary below. I followed the Mentoring Application Procedure and I would welcome any notes/advices/suggestions on anything that I could miss.

My name is Andrii. I am originally from Ukraine. I moved to US about 3 years ago and right now I live in Denver. I am working as a software engineer in NASDAQ. My resume is attached in case if anyone is interested. I am very interested in joining the Apache Community. From all the Apache projects that are currently open, I liked Zeppelin the most. First because it is Java/Scala based, and second because of the domain that the project is aimed for. An analytic tool for a large-scale data that is designed for the data scientists sounds awesome. I have two years of experience as a software developer. My main language is Java. Other languages and frameworks that I have worked with are JavaScript, C#, Angular, Spring, SQL, Linux (Bash and shell scripts) and SMARTS (programming language/software suit designed for financial markets; we use it a lot in NASDAQ). I also have some knowledge in algorithms, data structures and their running times. My previous working experience is mostly in back end. This is my primary area of interest and I would like to focus more on back end tasks, but I can work on anything that is required for the project. I never worked in an open source environment but I would like to start. To make it happen, I don't need to be babysitted but I need a small push. That is why I am looking for a mentor that could help me to get on board. From my side I can guarantee a long term commitment, eagerness to learn and desire to benefit for the project. I have no restrictions for the time frame that I am willing to invest but only my job. I can work on my evenings and weekends and I am ready to start as soon as possible. Please let me know if anyone is interested to be my mentor. Thank you, Andrii
