I am a dedicated user of open-source technologies such as Linux, Firefox, LibreOffice,Django, etc. Also, I have been contributing to Sugar Labs for over 2 months and have worked on a few patches for Firefox OS. I want to give back to the Open Source community which has given me so much in terms of knowledge, guidance and experience.

The Image Viewer JS is a port of the ImageViewer activity into a web application with added capabilities for image processing. The idea is to provide all the image editing and manipulation methods that are available in modern image editors along with a learning experience on image processing for kids.
Additional Details for the project (UI, Features): [https://docs.google.com/document/d/16ZV_YVwQHXd4PfBKvBo4C8zlyrUwLxw5cXU7jtO0ZT0/edit?usp=sharing ImageViewerJS]
Programming Languages: HTML, CSS, JavaScript<br>
Libraries: CamanJS to provide image manipulation in JS, jQuery

As part of my coursework in college, I have completed various projects with strict deadlines. Also, the work environment in my college (IIIT-H) ensures a strict schedule without any excuse to miss a project deadline.<br>
The completed projects as part of coursework include:<br>
* A peer-to-peer file transfer protocol that allow two clients to download and share files over a network. (Languages used: C)
https://github.com/goutamnair7/FileTransferProtocol
* A coworking space management portal to automate things like booking rooms, generating invoices and registering startups. This portal is used by the incubator for start-ups at IIIT-H. (Languages used: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL)
https://github.com/goutamnair7/Co-Work
* A game of Carrom made in OpenGL. (Languages used: C++, OpenGL)
https://github.com/goutamnair7/Carrom
* An E-mail service for all students of IIIT-H that organises mails based on specific tags of the E-mail so as to it make it more organized and easy to use. (Languages used: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Web2py, Python)
https://github.com/hitesh96db/ITWSII_StudentsMail
* A game of 4-Pics-1-Word implemented in Ruby on Rails<br>
<br>Other small projects (for fun :D) include:<br>
* Snake game in Javascript and HTML canvas:
https://github.com/goutamnair7/Snake-Game
* Python code to scrape stock data in real time
https://github.com/goutamnair7/Python-Web-Scraping
I have begun work on the project with a basic port to Javascript. My work can be reviewed here:
https://github.com/goutamnair7/ImageViewerJS
<br>I can successfully complete this project because:<br>
* I have a course in my current semester that deals with image processing, so I have a fair amount of expertise with image processing.
* The project duration occurs during summer holidays, so I would get >= 40 hours/week of time to work on this project.
* Plenty of experience with HTML5, CSS and Javascript
* Familiarity with Sugar codebase and prior experience with the python image viewer activity
* Also, I am very passionate about my work and strive to do the best

I intend to write a blog to elucidate my events and track the progress of my project every 1-2 weeks. The link to the blog will be made public so that the community can be aware of my progress.

<span style="font-size:115%"><b>Describe a great learning experience you had as a child.</b></span><br>
I always loved painting, sketching cartoon figures and drawing as a kid. I learnt that the drawing paper/canvas was not just a surface, it was a platform to express how I felt and that my imagination could know no bounds on the canvas. Thus, I understood that creativity and innovation are the cornerstones for any form of wholesome development.
