GSoC 2026 Introduction | Pavan | Project: mne-qt-browser

Hi MNE-Python Team,

I am Pavan Kumar, a developer with a background in Python visualization (PyQt, Matplotlib) and experience building data dashboards. I am writing to express my strong interest in contributing to the mne-qt-browser project for GSoC 2026.

Progress & Contributions:

  • Local Setup: I have successfully configured the mne-python and mne-qt-browser development environments on my machine.

  • Initial Work: I have already identified and resolved a few “Good First Issues” (e.g., #issue_number) and am currently finalizing my first Pull Requests.

  • Technical Focus: I am particularly interested in [mention 1 specific thing, e.g., optimizing the 2D backend performance] and have begun researching the current implementation in the codebase.

  • My Goal:
    I am currently drafting my formal proposal. I would appreciate any early feedback or specific technical areas the mentors suggest focusing on to ensure my 12-week roadmap aligns with the project’s 2026 goals.

    Looking forward to discussing this further!

    Best regards,
    Pavan Kumar
