Hello everyone,
My name is Priyanka and I’m a Computer Engineering student with strong interest in data systems, backend development, and applied machine learning.
I’ve recently started contributing to open source and had my first PR merged in Great Expectations, and I would really like to start contributing to MetaBrainz projects with the goal of applying for GSoC 2026.
I’m particularly interested in working on data-heavy or backend-focused parts of the stack (APIs, data pipelines, recommendation systems, statistics, etc.), and I’m comfortable working with Python, SQL, and web APIs.
I’d really appreciate guidance on:
• which MetaBrainz projects are currently most suitable for new contributors
• which repositories/issues would be good places to start
• what kind of contributions mentors usually expect before proposal time
Looking forward to learning and contributing here.
Thanks in advance!
