Google Summer of Code 2020 Student Meet and Greet

Hello, mentors and my fellow contributors. My name is Kislay Kunal Singh.

[ ABOUT ME ]

I am Indian and currently pursuing the undergrad Computer Science degree. My first interaction with open source was of a shock. I was a fresher who had only ever used a computer to play video games. So, when I first learned about open source from my peers, it didn’t make any sense. None of my traditional sense of commerce was being applied here, I sat morosely contemplating how these diverse group of people scattered all over the globe working part time can make a software that can help or even compete with the giants such as Microsoft, Google etc. I draw a great deal of inspiration from the open source community as open source has proven, when a bunch of people decide to make something, no matter the size or the resources, it will be made.

[ MY INTERESTS ]

I’m interested in Deep Learning and although the whole subject in very intriguing but my particular field of interest is Computer Vision. Things such as GANs, Nvidia’s DLSS just blows my mind. I like to work on things that I find visually appealing :slightly_smiling_face:.

[ MY PROJECT ]

Automatic Labeling of Radiology Images I plan to create a stand alone web app. The web app will be able to segment, annotate and classify different diseases from the uploaded X-ray by using deep learning algorithms.

[ WHY LibreHealth ]

The code I write here will have the potential to impact the lives of people directly. This just pumps me with joy. This organisation has impact on the greatest needs of people, their health. This is a great cause to get behind.

I look forward to working with you guy, thank you!
