Hello everyone.. I’m Abhay Singh Yadav. I have just completely setup the environment of OpenMRS core and saw some of its code. Currently reading the Data model of this project. Also I am not a B. Tech or CS student and I am just 20 year old guy who has learned Spring Boot for Backend and Jetpack compose for Frontend by making and breaking some good projects. The complexity and real world impact of OpenMRS project led me towards it.

Its really great to look at enterprise level code and fix it. I look forward to collaborating with the community and contributing to the project in real manner.

Thanks.
