Hi,
I am Kushagra Singh, a Computer Science student fromBirla Institute of
Technology and Science, Pilani from India. I am persuing my M.Sc. (Tech)
Information Systems from here.
I have always had an interest in developing products for the good of
society and Mifos X seems a wonderful effort in this direction. It holds a
great deal of promise for people in my country especially wherein Financial
services need significant improvement - especially among the poor. I am
deeply motivated for this cause and feel a better financial system is a
must for a better society.
I am interested in the project - "*Server-side Pagination and Sorting"*.
Regarding my technical skills I do not have prior experience in
contributing to open-source projects but I'm confortable with large code
bases and version control systems (git, subversion), agile development,
incremental development etc.
I feel confident that I will be able to complete the project which I
undertake with an afeeicient design and proper documentation, and help in
creating an impact on the lives of those who are benefited by Mifos.
I believe in an incremental approach and that there should be deliverables
at each stage of the project. This way there will be accountability at each
stage plus bug tracking and removal will be much easier. Appropriate time
for documentation should also be kept.
Also I will provide periodic updated to my mentor and use the mailing list
and IRC channel when at a roadblock.
During my internship at Apigee technologies, I have inculcated a deep
interest in web technologies especially REST. I am well experienced in Java
and am very comfortable with frameworks - Struts, Spring, Hibernate,
iBatis. I have contributed to a free product provided by Apigee - Apigee
Console and therefore gained experience in these fields.
I have used clients like Jersey and ApacheHttpClient. I am experienced
with HTML,CSS and have a basic familiarity with JavaScript.
I am familiar with RESTful API design aspects and have a strong passion for
writing beautiful and elegant code.
I will be finishing my internship at Apigee on 14th of June and will be
free for the duration of Gsoc.
I am in the process of setting up the code base and understanding the
basics around MifosX.
I would be grateful if you could provide me any feedback or suggestions on
how I should proceed.
Thanks,
Kushagra
