Hi everyone! I’m Rayyan, a full-stack developer with experience in MERN, .NET, Java, Python, Flutter, and Firebase. I have a strong background in data structures, algorithms, ML, AI, and cloud computing, with hands-on experience in Azure and AWS.

I’m excited to contribute to OpenAstronomy as a GSoC 2025 contributor and explore its open-source projects in astronomy, astrophysics, and data analysis. Could you guide me on how to start contributing? Is there a mentor or channel where I can ask questions and collaborate?

Looking forward to learning and working with you all!

Hello @KhanRayyan3622

Welcome to OA! I’d recommend you start reading our [contributor guide](https://openastronomy.org/gsoc/student_guidelines.html) and the links on [our GSoC page](https://openastronomy.org/gsoc/). Then notice that OA is an umbrella org, so we don’t have much where to contribute, but you can browse through our [members](https://openastronomy.org/members) and their respective dev guides and channels. most of them have labelled first-good-issues. Ask here or on their channels if you get stuck on the way.
