Excited to Join GSoC 2026 - Interested in Contributing to OpenVINO

[vishnu1901-2006]

Hi, I’m Vishnukant Bajpai, a second-year B.Tech CSE student at Galgotias University, India. I’m passionate about AI, DevOps, and edge computing.
I’ve explored the OpenVINO 2025 documentation and I’m fascinated by its capabilities in GenAI, model optimization, and edge deployment. I’d love to contribute to projects involving model server, compression, or Python/C++ APIs.
This is my first time participating in GSoC. I’m eager to learn, collaborate, and grow through open-source contributions. I’d appreciate guidance on how to get started with OpenVINO and align with your project ideas.
Could you please suggest beginner-friendly issues or resources to help me ramp up? I’m ready to dive in and start contributing. I have no knowledge about advanced ML and AI. But I believe in learning while doing the work.
