Hi preCICE community! 
My name is Nishant Singh. I currently serve as the Google Developer Group Lead at AIT Pune, and I am reaching out because I am highly interested in contributing to preCICE and targeting Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2026 with preCICE.
Open source has been a big part of my journey over the last 1.5 years—learning in public, raising PRs, fixing issues, and collaborating with amazing communities. I’ve successfully merged 30+ PRs across organizations like The Palisadoes Foundation, Open Library, KGateway, and Layer5 (you can view my contribution log here: https://t.co/hrAxO8JknZ).
After consistent contributions, I was recently selected as a mentee for the Linux Foundation Mentorship (LFX) under the CNCF for the KubeEdge: Ianvs Comprehensive Example Restoration (2026 Term 1) project.
A bit more about my development background:
-
Production Platforms: I work extensively with Next.js. I recently developed the RavenAI platform end-to-end (https://t.co/s6TR0aoe40), alongside full platforms for major developer events like Innerve X (https://t.co/LqDa8dFSJt) and Spark 2K25 (https://t.co/iRoqQAlC7j).
-
Hackathons: I won “Build on Aptos” and “Build on Stellar,” and received special mentions in two others.
I am really excited to grow, give back, and make meaningful contributions to preCICE. I am currently setting up the project locally and looking through the issue tracker, but I would love any pointers on the best areas or beginner-friendly issues to tackle first for a prospective GSoC contributor.
Looking forward to interacting with you all!
Warm regards, Nishant Singh
