Interested in Contributing to Alaska for GSoC 2026

[Nikitaa104]

Hi everyone 👋

I’m Nikita Pandey, a B.Tech CSE(AIML) student and a passionate full-stack developer skilled in MERN stack, Python, Java, and SQL. I’m excited about the opportunity to contribute to Alaska’s open-source projects under GSoC 2026.

I’ve gone through the repository and previous discussions, and I’m particularly interested in your AI/ML and web-based project areas. I would be very grateful if someone could please guide me on how to get started, such as beginner-friendly issues or contribution guidelines.

Looking forward to learning, collaborating, and contributing to this amazing community! Thankyou.

I am unsure about the "BigData Analytics and Visualization Platform" project as I cannot find one listed as such in https://github.com/uaanchorage/GSoC Hopefully you will be able to find the project page successfully.
