Hello OpenELIS Community!
My name is Arpit Gupta, a 6th semester Computer Science student at Madhav Institute of Technology and Science, Gwalior. I am writing to express my strong interest in contributing to OpenELIS Global for GSoC 2026.

I have a solid foundation in Java and Spring Boot, with a strong focus on testing using JUnit & Mockito. I am particularly drawn to the “Improve Integration Tests Coverage” project. As mentioned in the project description, The current Integration Test coverage is still low (around 22.4%), and I am highly motivated to help reach the 60% target.

I believe robust testing is the backbone of reliable healthcare software and I look forward to learning from the mentors — especially @Herbert — and contributing meaningfully to the platform.
Best regards,
Arpit Gupta

Hey everyone!

I’m Shraddha, a 2nd-year student from IGDTUW in Delhi. I’ve been following the OpenELIS Global project for a while now, and honestly, the work being done here is incredible. It’s one thing to build an app for fun, but seeing how this software actually supports public health labs and helps people get better healthcare is exactly why I wanted to get into CS in the first place.

I spent some time looking back at the 2024 UI modernisation projects, and I’m really excited about where the platform is headed. Since I’m pretty comfortable with React and TypeScript, I’d love to help out with the current push for performance and better reporting.

My “happy place” is usually working with PostgreSQL/ MySQL—I actually enjoy the challenge of writing clean, optimised SQL queries, so the Generic Reporting Framework project really caught my eye! On the backend side, I’m a MERN developer , but I’ve started diving into Java because I’m serious about contributing to the OpenELIS core.

I’m really looking forward to picking up my first “Good First Issue” and getting to know you all. If anyone has tips on where to start with the reporting or UI tasks, I’m all ears!

Hello everyone,

My name is Krystian, and I am from Poland. I recently completed my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Computer Science with a specialization in Cybersecurity.

I’m very interested in contributing to OpenELIS Global as part of GSoC 2026, especially to the project “Creating a Generic Robust Reporting Framework”. This project strongly matches my background in Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, PostgreSQL, React, and TypeScript, as well as my interest in building robust full-stack applications.

During my 3-month internship as a Software Engineer, I worked on web application development, database design and maintenance, API integrations, frontend development in React, and debugging, testing, and performance optimization.

I have also developed personal projects based on Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, Docker, React, TypeScript, and RabbitMQ, which helped me strengthen my practical skills in backend and full-stack development, especially in API communication, data management, and user-facing features.

Because of this background, I am especially interested in projects that combine backend reliability, clean API design, database work, and frontend usability. That is why this reporting framework project is particularly interesting to me.

I am currently going through the OpenELIS documentation and learning more about the codebase so I can contribute effectively. I would be glad to get involved through introductory issues and discussions related to this project.

Thank you, and I’m happy to join the community.

Best regards,
Krystian Kapusta

Hello everyone!

My name is Arpita Patil, and I am from India, currently pursuing my Master of Computer Applications (MCA) in the first year of a two-year program.

I have hands-on experience in full-stack development with the MERN stack, Java, Spring Boot, FastAPI, and REST APIs. I have also worked with TypeScript, React, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and Python-based ML libraries like HuggingFace Transformers and PyTorch across various academic and personal projects.

I have previously contributed to open source through SWOC and Hacktoberfest, which gave me a good foundation in working with collaborative codebases.

I am currently exploring the OpenELIS codebase and documentation, and I am particularly interested in the React frontend modernization project. I look forward to engaging with the community and working on introductory issues.

Thank you for having me here!

Best regards, Arpita Patil

Hey everyone! :waving_hand:

I’m Yuvraj Gupta, a software developer from India with a strong interest in backend systems and open-source development. I recently started exploring the OpenELIS Global project and was really impressed by how the platform supports public health laboratories. It’s inspiring to see software being used in such a meaningful way to improve healthcare access and efficiency.

My primary experience is in Java backend development, and I also work with the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) for full-stack projects. I enjoy designing APIs, working with databases, and optimizing queries. Recently, I’ve been learning more about Spring Boot, microservices architecture, Docker, and Elasticsearch, and I’m excited to apply these skills while contributing to real-world open-source projects.

I’m currently exploring the codebase and discussions to better understand how the platform works. I’d love to start contributing by picking up a “Good First Issue” and gradually getting more involved with the project.

Looking forward to learning from the community and collaborating with everyone here. If anyone has suggestions on where a new contributor should start, I’d really appreciate the guidance.

Hi @reagan meant and the OpenELIS community,

I am Akhil, a CS student specializing in Java, Spring Boot, and Hibernate. My recent work has focused heavily on building self-optimizing Spring backends and core Java monitoring tools, making me highly comfortable with complex JPA optimizations and transaction management.

I am very much interested in the “Comprehensive FHIR Facade Layer” project and have done projects similar to this. I was reviewing the architecture and wanted to share my approach to ensure I am aligned with the team’s vision.

The Core Problem:
Relying on a parallel HAPI FHIR JPA server forces the system into a “two-database” architecture. Constantly syncing the native OpenELIS database with the HAPI database creates unnecessary overhead, latency, and potential data inconsistencies.

My Proposed Approach:
To eliminate the parallel database, we can build a native facade using the HAPI FHIR core libraries directly within the OpenELIS Spring application:

Providers over Syncing: Implement standard FHIR IResourceProvider classes to intercept incoming requests directly, bypassing the need for a separate server.

Direct JPA Translation: Translate incoming FHIR search parameters into native Hibernate queries that fetch directly from the main OpenELIS PostgreSQL database as the single source of truth.

Dynamic Mapping: Map those native OpenELIS entities directly into standard FHIR Resources on the fly before returning the REST response.

The Technical Bottleneck & Next Steps:
I anticipate the real technical challenge here will be mapping complex, nested FHIR search parameters into efficient Hibernate queries without triggering N+1 selects or pulling excess data into memory.

My immediate goal right now is setting up OpenELIS-Global-2 locally to study the existing database schema and entity relationships. Once my build is stable, I will pick up a backend issue to familiarize myself with the transaction flow.

Looking forward to your feedback on this high-level approach!

Best regards,

Akhil

Ai dreptate, dacă e doar un thread de introducere, nu are rost să înșiri toată lista de dorințe. Cel mai bine e să arăți cine ești, ce știi să faci și faptul că deja ai „murdărit” mâinile cu codul lor.

Iată o variantă scurtă, de impact, fără „voințe” inutile:

Subject: Hey from Alin / Introduction for GSoC 2026

Hi everyone,

I’ve been following OpenELIS for a bit, and with GSoC 2026 kicking off, I figured it’s time to stop lurking and officially introduce myself.

I’m Alin, a CS student at Politehnica University of Timișoara. My technical background is centered around the Java ecosystem (Spring, JPA/Hibernate), and I’m already comfortable with Docker—I’ve actually just finished spinning up the app from source to get a feel for the architecture and the codebase.

I’ll be hanging around on the forum and Slack, looking into open PRs and the ideas list. Excited to get to know the community and start contributing!

Best, Alin
