Hi everyone,
I’m Lithin, a backend developer specializing in Java and Spring Boot. I recently built “Sentinel,” a custom API Gateway that handles rate limiting and traffic management using Redis.
I am interested in contributing to OpenELIS Global for GSoC 2026. Given my background in building robust APIs and scalable microservices, I’m looking forward to diving into the backend architecture here.
I am currently setting up the Docker development environment and exploring the codebase to understand the current API structure.
Excited to be part of the community!
Hello, my name is Hasan Ravda.
I am a 3rd year student with strong experience in Java and Spring Boot on the backend and modern frontend technologies like Next.js and React. My core strength lies in building scalable, clean, and production ready applications with proper architecture and performance considerations.
On the backend side, I have worked extensively with Java, focusing on object oriented design, multithreading, collections, and JVM fundamentals. With Spring Boot, I have built RESTful APIs, implemented authentication using JWT, worked with Spring Security, handled exception management, and integrated databases like PostgreSQL and MySQL using JPA and Hibernate. I also understand concepts like transaction management, ACID properties, caching using Redis, and API gateway architecture.
On the frontend, I use Next.js to build server side rendered and SEO friendly applications. I am comfortable with routing, API integration, state management, and building responsive UI components. I understand the difference between CSR and SSR and when to use each for performance optimization.
I have also worked with databases like PostgreSQL and MongoDB, and I focus on writing optimized queries and understanding indexing strategies. Additionally, I am familiar with cloud basics and deployment workflows.

Hi everyone!
My name is Pane. I am a 3rd-year Computer Science student at the University of Skopje (UKIM) in Macedonia.
I have been studying the OpenELIS Global-2 project, especially the Constitution and the Testing Roadmap. I really like your Layered Architecture and I want to help you maintain these high standards.
My Technical Background:
-
Backend: I am experienced with Java and Spring Boot. I also know Node.js and I am comfortable building and working with APIs.
-
Frontend: I work with React for the frontend.
-
Database: I am familiar with PostgreSQL, which I see you use here.
Why I want to help: I have a big interest in Software Testing. I understand that in medical software, automated tests are a must for patient safety. I want to help the project reach its goal of 80% backend code coverage.
I have already started writing tests for the Sample Management module (Phase 5) on my local branch to get familiar with the workflow. I’m excited to learn more from the community and contribute to this great project!
Best regards,
Pane
Hello everyone, Myself Ajith P Kumar. I’m Computer Science graduate from Lovely Professional University, India. My tech stack include React/Typescript, PostgreSql, REST API.

Hi everyone! I’m Ketan, a software developer from India interested in contributing to OpenELIS Global. I have experience with Java/Spring backends and React frontends. I’ve submitted several PRs (#2835, #2837, #2839, #2858, #2896, #2897) covering code quality improvements, security fixes, JPA migrations, and feature implementations.

Hello everyone,
I’m Libin Faby, a software developer working in healthcare for the past two years. I’m currently a core maintainer of the LIS at my company, where we build healthcare solutions across embedded systems, desktop, web, and mobile platforms.
A big part of my journey has been working directly with laboratories. I’ve visited labs to integrate our LIS with analyzers, handled HL7, ASTM, and custom protocols, and worked through the practical challenges of networking and data flow. Seeing how analyzer data turns into patient reports has made the responsibility very real for me.
I strongly believe healthcare software is not just about code it directly affects patient care. That’s why open, transparent, and community driven systems matter to me. I’m excited about contributing to OpenELIS through Google Summer of Code and being part of a community building reliable healthcare technology.
Looking forward to learning and contributing.
Hi I’m Kushagra , a GSoC 2026 aspirant from India. I work with Java, Python, React, Kotlin and Docker. I’ll be contributing to the project this month and preparing a GSoC proposal. Could you point me to 1–2 “good first issues” or starter tasks? I’d love to help with tests/docs/frontend for the upcoming ideas. Thank you!

Hello OpenELIS Global Community! 
My name is Ayush Kumar, a third-year B.Tech student specializing in AI & Machine Learning, and I am excited to introduce myself as an aspiring GSoC 2026 contributor. I deeply resonate with OpenELIS’s mission to strengthen public health infrastructure globally.
My technical foundation aligns closely with this year’s project ideas, including experience with Java, Spring, REST, React, and TypeScript. To get a head start, I’ve already configured my local Ubuntu environment and successfully set up the OpenELIS-Global-2 developer instance.
I am currently exploring the codebase and the GSoC 2026 project list—particularly the reporting framework, FHIR facade, and frontend modernization ideas. I am looking to pick up a few beginner-friendly issues to understand the workflow and would greatly appreciate any pointers!
Looking forward to learning from and collaborating with you all.
Best,
Ayush Kumar

Hi everyone,
I’m planning to apply for GSoC 2026 and I’m particularly interested in the Security Audit and Hardening of OpenELIS project.
I have a background in cybersecurity and experience working with OWASP Top 10 issues, vulnerability scanning, and CI/CD-based security checks.
I’ve started reviewing the OpenELIS-Global-2 repository and the developer setup documentation. I’d appreciate guidance on:
-
Any known security pain points or areas of concern that would be high priority to evaluate first
-
Whether there are beginner-friendly issues I can start with to familiarize myself with the codebase
Looking forward to contributing and engaging with the community.
