[GSoC 2026] Introduction - OpenTelemetry for ci.jenkins.io - Anish Bankar

Hello everyone! I’m Anish. I submitted a GSoC proposal for the OpenTelemetry on ci.jenkins.io project. I have a strong background in system deployments and operating system fundamentals, and I am really passionate about CI/CD observability. I’m currently spinning up a local Jenkins instance to get a better feel for the OpenTelemetry plugin. Excited to be here and learn from you all.
