Hi everyone,
I'm Tanisha (GitHub: Tanisha2174), a Computer Science and Engineering student at Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, Delhi, and I'm excited to introduce myself as a Google Summer of Code 2026 applicant for Joplin.
Background
I'm currently in my third year of B.Tech and have been building my skills in full-stack development, with a focus on TypeScript, React.js, Node.js, and REST APIs. Beyond academics, I've had the opportunity to work professionally — most recently as a Full Stack Developer at Legsim Solutions, where I built cloud-native portals on AWS and developed APIs handling over 1,000 requests per minute. I've also published a research paper on Deep Reinforcement Learning for robotic locomotion, presented at the INDIACom 2024 international conference.
Open Source & Joplin
I'm drawn to open source because I want to contribute to software that real users depend on — code that has to be maintainable, well-reviewed, and built collaboratively. Joplin feels like exactly the right environment for that. It's a tool I genuinely respect: privacy-first, cross-platform, and actively maintained by a thoughtful community.
I've begun exploring the Joplin codebase, setting up the development environment, and familiarising myself with the plugin architecture and sync layer. Over the coming weeks, I plan to work through good-first issues, make consistent contributions, and develop a focused project proposal aligned with Joplin's GSoC 2026 roadmap — particularly around the areas of AI-assisted note interaction and plugin API improvements.
I'm looking forward to learning from this community, contributing meaningfully, and growing as an open-source developer.
Thank you, and I'm happy to be here.
