Hello, my name is Berken and I'm willing to apply to Google Summer of Code
2022. I'm currently a freshman bachelor CS student at Technical University
of Delft, Netherlands.
I have been interested in Linux/Unix for a decade and my main ambition is
to become an OS developer in the future. However, until now I haven't been
able to make a reasonable contribution to the open source community. I want
to start somewhere though, and working on a Unix-like operating system
seems to be the perfect way to get better.
>From my previous university in Turkey, I have acquired some C and Python
skills and here I'm learning Java/JS/Node.JS. However, for a software as
complex as a kernel I feel kind of lost as to where to start/what to read
etc. and to be honest I feel mentally blocked to some extent. I want to
contribute to the tasks about syscalls or ZFS, but I need some guidance
before I get ready to apply in April. I have worked on a mobile application
for Google Solution Challenge 2021 and I've also created a chess website
for a school assignment, but I lack more relevant experience.

If you agree to help me, even if my application gets rejected I'm willing
to work on a task and submit a PR by the end of summer. Experience and
guidance is what matters to me.

Here's my GitHub if you're interested: https://github.com/berkentekin

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Berken Tekin
