Hello, I am an undergraduate student with an extensive experience in computers from an early age, but most of my work has been limited to arduinos, and raspberry pi's. I have been intrigued with compilers, architecture and low level programming in the past few years. I have experience with ARM assembly and a little bit of x86 too. I have worked towards building bootloaders and teaching it to my fellow peers too. I've constructed a process virtual machine modeled after the LC-3 architecture and am presently focused on developing a basic emulator for RISC-V. Both of the previously mentioned projects are being done in C, and I have extensive experience in C. I really want to know how the GNU Compiler collection works under the hood and this is a really good opportunity for me to explore and learn.
Please reach out to me on what needs to be done to be accepted as a contributor to the GSoC program under the GNU organization, I would love to work on any of the projects mentioned in the wiki(would prefer some easy ones though, since I am not that deep yet). My github will be linked below, and I hope to hear from you soon! https://github.com/surajkadapa This is my first time writing for the GSoC program, so I am not really sure if this is how you reach out to organizations in this capacity. Please excuse any potential oversights as I navigate this process. Regards, Suraj
