Hello everyone!
I’m Riya Jain from India, an MCA graduate with hands-on experience as a Java Developer intern and in building full-stack projects using React.js, Java, and Python.

Hi everyone 
I’m Abdelmaseh, a backend engineer (Java / Spring Boot) starting to contribute to OpenMRS.
I’m currently in mandatory military service, so my internet and PC access is limited to short monthly holidays. During those windows, I work in focused bursts and prepare offline in between.
I’ve started setting up OpenMRS locally and looking for beginner-friendly issues where I can contribute steadily despite the constraints.
Looking forward to learning from the community and contributing where I can!
Hi everyone I’m Soham, a first-year B.Tech CSE (AI/ML) student I enjoy working with Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, and Django. Growing up around the healthcare space sparked my interest in building reliable digital health systems, which is what led me to OpenMRS. I’m new to open source, but I’ve started setting up the development environment and am currently exploring beginner-friendly issues around OpenMRS 3 and frontend modules. I’m excited to learn from the community and contribute consistently as I grow along the way
Hello everyone,
I’m a second-year B.Tech CSE student with a Java and Python background. I recently opened my first PR to OpenMRS (documentation) and would now like to start working on a beginner-friendly Java issue.
I’m especially interested in backend / core development and preparing for GSoC. I would appreciate guidance on a suitable starter task.
Thank you.

Hi Everyone,

Hola!
I am Aarya, currently joined as a (reluctant) intern at Infosys. My tech stack here is in Java Springboot and React and thought, what better way to improve my skills than to contribute to open-source?!
Coming across OpenMRS seems like a wonderful project because I am a strong advocate of taking control off the corporations (they are SUCH money eating monsters dude). Healthcare specially.
Its really interesting to see the comprehensive amount of documentation and the ecosystem that exists within. And I LOVE chasing badges. All of them are mine!!! 
I am personally eager to see how I can contribute to the community and maybe develop some good friendships (and skills) along the way!

I’ve recently joined an early-stage startup focused on solving healthcare problems, and I’m excited to collaborate and work with all of you.
