Hi everyone,
My name is Francis, a computer science student at Glasgow Caledonian University. My passion lies in software development and solving human problems using technology.
I’m so excited to join this space and over a few couple of days, I will familiarize myself to the platform. I’m looking forward to contribute on this project and I’m so excited how great this platform is going to be. I’m willing to collaborate and help others while also learning from all of you.
Thank you!

Hey!
I’m Lovish, an undergraduate student at Chitkara University. Over the last three years, my passion and curiosity for learning about technology—both the latest advancements and tech from earlier times—have grown immensely. The evolution of technology has always amazed me, and it inspired me to decide:
_“Step out of my comfort zone and try something new.”_
I really like this space. With prior experience in Java, I’ve started learning Spring to keep up with the pace of this project. I’m eager to contribute and hope to learn a lot from all of you.
Thanks,
Lovish

Hello everyone,
My name is Daniele Ciucci. I’m from Rome, Italy, and currently pursuing an MSc in Computer Science at the University of Bath (UK). Professionally, I’ve spent two years working as a Spring Boot developer for a public administration in Italy, gaining extensive experience in backend development, REST APIs, agile practices, and software architecture collaboration.
I’m the founder and owner of PawPal, an IT project designed to streamline pet care management through innovative technology solutions.
I am passionate about technology in general, but my particular favorites include Java, Spring Boot, React, and RESTful API development.
I am enthusiastic about contributing to the OpenELIS Global project and look forward to engaging with this vibrant community, learning from you all, and collaborating on meaningful contributions.
Best regards,
Daniele

**Hi everyone! 👋**
**I’m Joseph Kagimu** , a frontend developer and open-source enthusiast from Uganda.
I’ve been an active contributor to OpenMRS **,** now working primarily on the frontend — React, TypeScript, Carbon Design System and the OpenMRS microfrontend ecosystem. Through my work with OpenMRS, I’ve come to appreciate how OpenELIS integrates with OpenMRS via FHIR to power laboratory workflows, and that sparked my interest in contributing directly to OpenELIS Global.
**What I’m looking for:**
- Good first issues to get familiar with the OpenELIS-Global-2 codebase
- Guidance from maintainers on contribution conventions and workflows
I’ve already set up the dev environment and I’m excited to dive in. Looking forward to learning from this community and contributing! , happy to meet you .
