Hey Simon, As far as I can tell this project would overlap with the recent work on ComputeFramework.jl <https://github.com/shashi/ComputeFramework.jl>. I think your best bet would be to head over there, dig in and play around a bit and see where you'd best be able to contribute – and most likely the right person to mentor you would be over there as well.
