My name is Soumya Ranjan, and I hold a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and a Master's in Computer Engineering. I am currently working as a Firmware Engineer at Qualcomm Wireless R&D. I recently discovered your organization and the exciting GSOC projects you are proposing, namely "Offloading to a separate process on the same host" and "Enhance OpenACC support." I am writing to express my enthusiastic interest in potentially contributing to either of these projects and to inquire about the next steps to formally apply or draft a proposal. My academic journey was enriched with substantial coursework in operating systems and parallel computing, sparking a deep interest in efficient computational strategies and optimizations. My professional experience has further developed my skills in C/C++, offloading compilation, and inter-process communication. Given this foundation, I am confident in my capacity to make a meaningful contribution to either the project focused on enhancing debugging capabilities for offloaded code or the one aimed at filling the existing gaps in OpenACC support, depending on where my skills can be best utilized. I realize I am reaching out at a time when proposals are likely already underway. I apologize for this timing and am committed to diligently catching up. I've started to familiarize myself with the "Before You Apply" guidelines on your website to ensure I understand the necessary preparatory steps. Could you kindly advise if there are any additional specific steps I should follow or particular aspects of either project you would recommend focusing on in my proposal? The prospect of contributing to advancements in either domain is highly motivating to me, and I am keen to align my efforts with the project's most pressing needs. I am eager to learn more about how I can integrate into your team and contribute effectively. I believe this opportunity aligns perfectly with my professional aspirations and skills, and I am excited about the potential collaboration. Thank you very much for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to further discuss how I can contribute to the success of your project. Warm regards, Soumya Ranjan --000000000000528609061439567d--
