Hello everyone,
my name is Victor and I’m a Computer Science student from Italy. I’m introducing myself as a potential contributor for Google Summer of Code 2026 with Joplin.
I’m particularly interested in the Automatic Conflict Resolution project, since it combines topics I enjoy working on: algorithms, version control concepts, and reliable system design. A big part of my interest in this project comes from my experience studying how systems detect, track, and merge changes.
One of my projects, wyag, is a simplified implementation of Git built from scratch. Working on it helped me understand in depth how version control systems handle objects, commits, and change tracking. I also developed shell-c, a Unix shell written from scratch in C, which gave me experience working on more complex systems software and larger codebases.
More recently I’ve also been experimenting with different techniques for integrating AI capabilities into existing applications, exploring ways to enhance traditional software systems with LLM-based tools. While the conflict resolution project focuses primarily on algorithmic merging, I’m interested in exploring how AI-assisted resolution could eventually complement deterministic approaches.
I’m currently preparing my GSoC proposal and I’m excited to learn more about the project and hopefully collaborate with the community.
