I am Mohamed Adham, and I will be hopefully applying again for GSOC23. Some of you may know me from last year when I had taken on the User Interface project for GSOC22.
This year I will be applying for the “Optimization of internal operations with layers” (I also have plans to extend the project scope). I chose this project specifically because I think it will be very interesting working on introducing new algorithms that have the potential to optimize working with layers which in turn would optimize working on big animations. Also I believe it will help in making me understand other areas of synfig better (specifically synfig-core) which could only improve my contributions to Synfig.
Finally I would like to congratulate synfig as a whole for getting re-accepted into gsoc🎉, and wish everyone applying the best of luck : ).
My name is Bharat Sahlot, and I am a second-year Computer Science student at IIIT Hyderabad. I have a keen interest in Computer Graphics and Game Development and enjoy optimizing code for better performance.
I am excited to apply for the Performance Optimization project this year, as it aligns perfectly with my interests. I have been thoroughly studying the project’s architecture and source code to better understand it and prepare for my proposal.
I am confident in my C++ coding skills and have recently completed a 2D and 3D racing game as part of my Computer Graphics course. You can check it out here. You can check my other projects on my GitHub as well.
In addition to C++, I have experience working with other programming languages like C, C#, x86 assembly, Rust, and Javascript. I have also used Unity extensively in the past.
I am currently working on my proposal and hope to submit it in the next few days. I am eager to contribute to this project and optimize its performance to the best of my abilities.
As a kindly reminder, the number of seats will be limited.
But nothing forbids the most motivated of the candidates to help for development of Synfig outside of GSoC context
This year we have two project slots and two accepted contributors:
Mohamed Adham (@mohamed.Adhamc) with the project “Select Tool and UI Enhancements”
Bharat Sahlot (@b23v) with the project “Rendering Performance Optimization”
I want to say thanks to all the applicants who reached us and wish good luck to the accepted contributors as their work on the project is just getting started.
