Hello everyone!
I am Sairam Bisoyi, currently a 2nd-year B.Tech student at IIT Guwahati, India.
I recently participated in an Atlassian hackathon working on AI strategy, which made me really appreciate the Jira/Confluence workflow you use here at OpenMRS.
I am interested in contributing to the Backend (Java/Spring) and exploring how Machine Learning can improve clinical decision support in future O3 versions. I’m excited to start learning the codebase and picking up my first issue!

Hi folks,
I’m Anudeep, a CS student starting my OpenMRS journey while preparing for Google Summer of Code. My background and interests are mainly in backend development (Java, APIs), and I’m also experimenting with applied machine learning where it makes sense.
Right now, I’m focused on understanding the codebase, tooling, and contribution flow by working through docs and introductory issues.
Looking forward to learning, asking questions, and contributing along the way.

Hello everyone!
I’m Aditya Tiwari, a 2nd-year B.Tech CSE student at IIIT Agartala.
I’m keen on getting involved in open-source development to learn how large, real-world systems are built and maintained. I work primarily with Java and have a solid grasp of Data Structures and Algorithms, and I’m currently learning Spring Boot to strengthen my backend development skills.
I’m interested in OpenMRS because of its meaningful real-world impact and mature codebase, which I believe is a great environment to learn open-source workflows, code reviews, and collaborative development. At this stage, my goal is to start contributing consistently, understand the project architecture, and learn from mentors and the community by working on real issues.
I’m also exploring OpenMRS as a potential organization for GSoC, but my immediate focus is to learn, contribute, and grow through hands-on open-source work.
Looking forward to learning from the community and contributing wherever I can. Thanks! Aditya Tiwari

I’m Shanuwaz, an MCA student at VIT Chennai and an application developer with experience building mobile apps and integrating them with backend APIs.
I’ve started exploring OpenMRS as a long-term open-source contribution and I’m preparing for GSoC 2026. My primary interest is in Android and mobile-related OpenMRS projects, particularly around API integration and reliability.
I’m currently going through the documentation and codebase and plan to begin contributing with small, focused changes before taking on larger tasks.
Looking forward to learning from the community and contributing consistently.

Hello, mentors
Hello, my name is Divyanshu Kumar, and I am a B.Tech Electronics & Communication Engineering student from India. Currently, I will be applying for GSoC 2026 with OpenMRS.
I am focused on React for front-end development and Java for back-end systems. I have hands-on experience with React, Java- Core Java, Spring Boot, RESTful APIs, SQL/MySQL and NoSQL, and comfortable working across full-stack, modular, database-driven applications. I also work with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript when building and integrating user-facing features.
I would like to start contributing with React-or Java/Spring-related starter issues that will help me build meaningful familiarity with the platform and community practices.
Any advice on suggested entry points, starter issues, or areas where new contributors can add value early would be very much appreciated.
Thanks for taking the time to mentor me. I am excited about learning and contributing.
