My name is Ketan, and I’m a software developer interested in contributing to OpenELIS Global. I’m currently exploring the codebase and have started with some code quality and security improvements:

- \*\*PR #2837\*\* — Removed debug `console.log` statements from frontend production code

- \*\*PR #2839\*\* — Fixed a Stored XSS vulnerability by sanitizing `dangerouslySetInnerHTML` usage with DOMPurify

I’m interested in GSoC 2026 and looking forward to contributing more to the project. I have experience with Java/Spring backends and React frontends, which aligns well with the OpenELIS tech stack.

Looking forward to connecting with the community and learning more about the project’s roadmap!
