PERSONAL SUMMARY
My interest in GSoC comes out of my attraction towards the philosophy of open source software which inspired me to become a student of Computer Science. Earlier with a very miserable economic background, I had managed a Master’s degree in Mathematics. I had to wash dishes in restaurants and work as domestic servant in my childhood. After getting Masters in Mathematics I became a teacher and a social worker. It was only then I could purchase a computer and start using one. Whatever is mentioned in my CV is only related to the IT sector and all that has been achieved in the last two and half years. I find myself to be a very fast learner and dedicated to the philosophy of freedom, collectiveness and emancipation. That makes me assert my eligibility for this program.
