Hello everyone! I’m Kavindu, an undergraduate student at IIT. One of the things I’m most passionate about is creating value for others through the power of technology.
I began my coding journey in 2021, starting with basic HTML. Since then, I’ve grown step by step and now work confidently with modern frameworks like React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS.
With a strong eye for design, I naturally gravitate towards frontend development — it feels like second nature to me. But I’m not limited to just that. I also enjoy building serverless applications using Firebase, which helps me develop and deploy projects quickly and efficiently.

Hi everyone! 
My name is Stefan, and I’m a third-year Computer Science student at Radboud University in the Netherlands. I’m excited to be joining the OpenMRS community and potentially contributing as part of Google Summer of Code 2025.
I have a strong interest in full-stack web development and data visualization. I’ve worked with React, D3.js, Python, Java, and recently started exploring Spark and big data tools. I’m currently working on my Bachelor’s thesis, which involves building an educational platform with interactive graph algorithm visualizations to help students learn complex concepts more intuitively.
Besides coding, I love working on personal tech projects, playing video games, and occasionally diving into creative writing.
I’m looking forward to learning more about the OpenMRS ecosystem, getting involved, and contributing to a meaningful open-source project in the health tech space. Any guidance or pointers on how to get started would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers, Stefan
