Hello everyone, I’m Trishya Gupta, a BTech Computer Science (AI specialization) student from Lucknow University, India, with a strong interest in data-driven systems, applied AI, and interactive web-based visualization. I’ve worked on projects such as a Smart E-Commerce Product Comparison & Recommendation Engine and a Movie Recommendation System, where I gained hands-on experience in data preprocessing, metric design, and system integration. I also have skills in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and MySQL, and have contributed to open-source projects in the OpenCV ecosystem, which strengthened my ability to navigate large codebases and collaborate effectively in community-driven workflows. I am particularly interested in Project #9: Telehealth Effectiveness and Necessity Tracker for Alaska, as combining healthcare access metrics with Internet performance data to visualize healthcare deserts aligns closely with my skills and interests. Since the project is currently in the research stage and there are no open issues yet, I would like to start contributing in any way that is most useful — whether through data exploration, metric prototyping, or initial visualization work. I look forward to learning from the community, contributing meaningfully, and engaging in technical discussions to advance the project. Best regards, |

Hello everyone, I am Priti Gupta, a Final Year Computer Science undergraduate at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, with interests in applied AI/ML and building practical systems for healthcare and research. While going through the project ideas, the Behavioral Health Vault (BHV) particularly caught my attention because of its focus on privacy, minimal deployment, and its potential to support both patients and researchers. I really like the direction of creating a system that is simple for clinics to run while still being powerful enough for meaningful analysis. I have started exploring the repository at https://github.com/KathiraveluLab/BHV and am excited to understand the workflows and contribution areas. In my previous work, I have built AI-driven applications such as a telemedicine platform and tools for interacting with documents. Through these, I learned that real impact comes from good system design, ease of use, and responsible handling of sensitive data, not only from models. I am comfortable working with Python, backend development, and databases, and I can also help on the frontend side when required. I also have research exposure, including a publication at ICCNT 2025, and I am interested in contributing to projects that connect engineering with real-world outcomes. I will be spending time understanding BHV in depth and hope to contribute through discussions, documentation, and code improvements. GitHub: https://github.com/priti200 I am looking forward to learning from everyone and contributing to the community. |

Hi everyone, I’m Aspita Sunday, an incoming MSc Data Science student and founder of AspitaTech. My research focuses on evaluation benchmarks for low-resource environments (specifically African linguistic data), where I specialize in F1-score analysis, Confusion Matrices, and unsloth/LoRA fine-tuning. I attended the recent session on Alaska’s GSoC goals and was compelled by the Beehive (Health Metrics) and Erosion Modeling projects. The challenge of deploying robust metrics in "data deserts" (like Alaska) mirrors the work I currently do for ProverbEval in Nigeria. I am not just looking to "code"; I am looking to apply rigorous data evaluation to these critical problems. I have already cloned the Beehive repo and am reviewing the metric implementation. Looking forward to contributing to the 2026 cohort |
