Hello Srabasti and All, As a new contributor joined in Jan 2026, I am excited to share my progress. I have recently submitted PR #60733 to improve type hints in the BigQuery Hook as part of the Airflow 3.0 refactoring goals.
While it is still in the review phase, working with the Breeze environment and running 132+ unit tests has been a great learning experience. Looking forward to making more impactful contributions!
