GSoC 2026 - Introduction - Arpan Chakraborty

Hi Jenkins Community!

I’m Arpan Chakraborty, a Java Backend Developer from Kolkata, India.
I’m a B.Tech CSE student with experience in Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, Docker, and Kafka.

I’m very interested in contributing to Jenkins for GSoC 2026.
I have already forked the Jenkins repository and looking to make my first contribution.

Can anyone guide me on which project ideas would be suitable for a beginner contributor?

Thank you!

Looking forward to contributing to the project.

Best regards,
Arpan Chakraborty
