Dear Peter Dudfield,

My name is Akshay Waghmare a undergrad at IIIT Allahabad, India, and I am thrilled about the opportunity to contribute to Open Climate Fix and participate in GSoC 2025 under your esteemed organization.

Recently, I started exploring your repositories and had my first PR merged into the PV Live consumer project. Although it was a basic task, it was an exciting and rewarding experience. I truly admire the impactful work OCF is doing in tackling climate challenges through open-source collaboration, and I am eager to deepen my involvement.

In addition to my contribution to PV Live, I have also contributed to Scribe/Android, working with Kotlin, and to C2SI org. These experiences have enhanced my technical skills and allowed me to appreciate the power of open-source communities in driving meaningful change

I have a strong foundation in JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, and C/C++, with experience in frameworks and tools such as Next.js, React.js, Node.js, Flask, Docker, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, and AWS. Alongside web development, I have a solid understanding of machine learning concepts and have applied them in various projects. My ML expertise is complemented by being a finalist in the Amazon Machine Learning Challenge and a Goldman Sachs India Hackathon National finalist, where I contributed to solving real-world problems using innovative approaches.

My passion for contributing to meaningful solutions, coupled with my technical skills in ML and web technologies, aligns perfectly with Open Climate Fix’s vision. I am particularly interested in contributing to projects that involve real-time data analysis, AI integrations, and scalable solutions to address climate challenges.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I am looking forward to your guidance and to being a part of Open Climate Fix’s inspiring journey.

Best regards,
Akshay Waghmare

Hi @peterdudfield.

As discussed previously in the mail, I’m very excited to hear that Open Climate Fix is participating in GSoC 2025! I’m deeply inspired by OCF’s mission to combat climate change through open-source AI solutions, and I’m eager to contribute to your impactful projects through this initiative.

I am an open-source developer with over 2 years of backend development experience, specializing in python and golang.

My expertise spans backend engineering, system design and cloud, and, making me well-equipped to contribute to OpenClimateFix's python / ml-based repositories. Additionally, I’ve worked with machine learning and generative AI models (LLMs), further diversifying my technical skill set.

My open-source projects have reached 20K+ downloads, and I’ve worked on diverse projects, including Python packages, full-stack applications, and automation tools. Previously, I contributed to OpenClimateFix's PV Site API (PR #195), and I am eager to deepen my engagement with the community.

Currently, I am interning at HackerRank while completing my final year of a Bachelor of Engineering in Information Technology.
I’ve also worked with yc-startups and NGOs, contributing to real-world projects that demonstrate the practical impact of technology.

Being a FOSS evangelist and climate activist, I resonate deeply with OpenClimateFix's values. I believe I would be a great fit for OCF’s GSoC program. I look forward to applying for GSoC 2025 and making meaningful contributions to your community!

Warm regards,
