When I worked on my first GSoC project, OpenMRS organization got my attention because of it’s mission and it’s a mature project which can help me to enhance my skills as a software developer.
I understood that there are many good practices which are currently practicing within the organization such as regular meetings, good coding practices, testing, and documentation.
Another good reason was it’s community as I mentioned earlier. They are very generous to help others and always active. Also, I have the keen interest in open source and would like to share my knowledge for the sake of world via open source software.
-Write Code, Save Lives -
I’m interested to find and read about new technologies and had some experience of hydroponic cultivation. I love to play PC games, mobile games and be with my family . The most loved mobile game is Pokemon Go, Now I’m on level 38 .
Congratulation to the students who got selected for Google Summer of Code 2018 and I would like to thank my project mentors and the community for the chance to me on this project.
I am impressed by the motto of openMRS " Write code Save lives" It saves the people and
serves the people. So I am happy to contribute to this community.
I like to listen to music when traveling and love to watching horror films.
Thanks to the OpenMRS Community for this initiative and helping people. Finally, I need to thank @judeniroshan for the help and guidance during the preparation time to achieve the target.
First Congratualtion everyone who got selected for this year Google Summer of Code with OpenMRS. Now the time to share your commits with OpenMRS
I am very exited to work with OpenMRS once again through this year GSoC. Yes, I had a chance to work with OpenMRS last year also (GSoC 2017). I worked on a project called More Metadata Management in AdminUI under the valuable guidance of @dkayiwa. So I loved to work with OpenMRS once again
So far, Reference application only kept the location information inside the session and the user can simply change their location through the location drop-down or use appui/session REST service. Now the time to restrict the OpenMRS Ref app users by their registered locations.

OpenMRS is the world identified electronic medical record system(EMR) and It is an open source project contains the headlines as “Write Code, Save Lives”. I really like this project domain and would like to be a part of OpenMRS. Since the last year, I had so many chances to interact with the community and the works. So I wonder about the community for helping the new people and I mostly liked that approach.
I like swimming, Music, and Photography. I am in a relationship with StackOverflow also. You can follow my blog to get some unwanted as well as the interesting writes
Looking forward to sharing my knowledge and work here to make the project better

I believe that if you can add up some meaningful contribution towards a better society, using your skills and talent, then the code you write and the time you invest is totally worth it! After i got my first little contribution merged at OpenMRS, I got the same feeling. And this is the thing that keeps me motivated! Also the community here is beautiful. Love to work here!
I have many hobbies (others say them talent ) which include photography, cooking, singing, art and craft etc. Also I love to play basketball. I also like to repair any and everything or make them irreparable !!!
