New Contributor - Aiming for GSoC 2026

Hi everyone!

I’m Mayank Sikhwal, a BTech Computer Science graduate from India. I’m excited to contribute to OpenMRS and aim to apply for GSoC 2026.

Technical Background:

  • Proficient in Java and currently learning Spring Boot
  • Familiar with Git/GitHub basics
  • Currently pursuing master’s in Computer Science
  • Strong interest in healthcare technology.

I’m passionate about using technology for social impact, and OpenMRS’s “Write Code, Save Lives” mission resonates deeply with me. I’m new to open source but committed to learning and contributing. Could someone guide me on:

  1. Setting up the development environment
  2. Finding beginner-friendly issues
  3. Understanding the codebase structure. Looking forward to being part of this community!
