Looks like an awesome start. I just have a general advice to continue engaging with the sympy community, you can for example help with reviewing patches and keep fixing other things, ultimately, as you get to know more people, you can then use the connections to get the work done that you want to get done. Good strategy is to go to the sympy pull request github page, and review somebody's else patch and ask him/her to review yours.
