Who am I?

Hi, everyone!

Since this is a diary, I’ll try to keep it that way.

I am from Nepal & a Software Engineering undergraduate student at CODE University in Berlin, Germany since 2019.

That makes me a non-EU international student. Like most students in technology, I also work part-time at a startup for experience and other perks.

I like the process of creating a tech product, particularly ideation sessions, user stories & figuring out tech problems.

Why GSoC?

There were a few students who completed GSoC at our university and organized a session sharing their experiences. That made me curious. I found OpenStreetMap(OSM) from the list of organizations, mapped my home, and liked the product.

User story

• An OSM user takes photos of different restaurants, supermarkets, and other cafes from his/her phone on a given day

• The user now wants to update the opening and closing hours of one of the restaurants with help of the photos he/she took some time ago

• By dragging and dropping (or importing) those photos in the iD editor, the user wants to see all the photos on the OSM & fill out the business hours (opening and closing) side-by-side

A pictorial representation of the user story can be found here
