Great! Thank you for your interest! https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_contribute is an overview of all the many ways how to contribute to Wikimedia. As you state that you are interested in hacking, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_hub provides a high-level overview of MediaWiki development for hackers. It also links to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker for starters. If you are looking for some "easy" bugs to work on, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Annoying_little_bugs is also linked from that page. It offers some queries for bug reports in Wikimedia's issue tracking system. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions! Looking forward to your first patch contribution!
