**Hello Jenkins Community,** My name is Shaily Gupta, and I am a third-year Computer Science undergraduate with a strong interest in frontend development, UI/UX design, and modern web tooling. I am particularly interested in contributing to the _Retool [Jenkins.io](http://Jenkins.io) Contributor Spotlight_ project, especially the migration from Gatsby.js to Vite + React, along with improvements in performance, accessibility, and maintainability. I have hands-on experience with React, Vite, and JavaScript, and have built responsive web applications. I am currently reviewing the existing Contributor Spotlight implementation to better understand its structure, dependencies, and data workflow. I would appreciate guidance on: - Beginner-friendly issues in this repository - Any migration constraints or architectural considerations - Recommended first contributions to get started - Whether there are [Jenkins.io](http://Jenkins.io) design/branding guidelines that must be followed - Whether the current data workflow should be preserved or can be improved Iā€™m looking forward to learning from the community and contributing meaningfully to the project. Thank you! šŸ™Œ
