GSoC 2020 - Ashutosh Sharma

[ashutoshshrm529]

Hello Everyone,
I'm Ashutosh Sharma, a Computer Science Undergrad from BITS Pilani, Rajasthan.
I commonly work on arduino projects and have been doing so for the past 3-4 years. I have experience in machine learning and have made arduino based projects such as a Micromouse ( https://github.com/BitsRobocon/MicroMouse_2020 ), efficient line followers and currently am working (with my robotics club - ROBOCON BITSP https://teamroboconbitspilani.github.io ) on an autonomous quadruped which is to navigate an environment and do certain tasks (push items, or deliver boxes).

I also am a Full-Stack web developer and a hobbyist Graphics Designer.

I have been particularly in interested in participating in open source communities, specially this one, given that most of my work revolves around it. I wish to be a productive and helpful member of this community and have a good experience in doing so.

I have ample programming experience in C, C++, Go and Python and hope to be a contributor to the new Portenta board particularly writing MicroPython examples and tools for Portenta and JerryScript (JavaScript) examples and tools for Portenta since these are features which will expand the arduino environment and will particularly be useful for my robotics work. I hope to spend my GSoC period working on this project and to be a helpful open source contributor to this community.
