Dear Peter Dudfield,

My name is Akshay Waghmare a undergrad at IIIT Allahabad, India, and I am thrilled about the opportunity to contribute to Open Climate Fix and participate in GSoC 2025 under your esteemed organization.

Recently, I started exploring your repositories and had my first PR merged into the PV Live consumer project. Although it was a basic task, it was an exciting and rewarding experience. I truly admire the impactful work OCF is doing in tackling climate challenges through open-source collaboration, and I am eager to deepen my involvement.

In addition to my contribution to PV Live, I have also contributed to Scribe/Android, working with Kotlin, and to C2SI org. These experiences have enhanced my technical skills and allowed me to appreciate the power of open-source communities in driving meaningful change

I have a strong foundation in JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, and C/C++, with experience in frameworks and tools such as Next.js, React.js, Node.js, Flask, Docker, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, and AWS. Alongside web development, I have a solid understanding of machine learning concepts and have applied them in various projects. My ML expertise is complemented by being a finalist in the Amazon Machine Learning Challenge and a Goldman Sachs India Hackathon National finalist, where I contributed to solving real-world problems using innovative approaches.

My passion for contributing to meaningful solutions, coupled with my technical skills in ML and web technologies, aligns perfectly with Open Climate Fix’s vision. I am particularly interested in contributing to projects that involve real-time data analysis, AI integrations, and scalable solutions to address climate challenges.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I am looking forward to your guidance and to being a part of Open Climate Fix’s inspiring journey.

Best regards,
Akshay Waghmare
