Dear, Fortran-lang community, My name is Rajkumar Dongre, and I am a 2nd-year undergraduate student at Vishwakarma Institute of Technology in Pune, India. I am proficient in various programming languages, including C, C++, Fortran, Java, Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript. Previously, I gained experience working with the LiberCube space organization, where I worked on a Domain-Specific Language called PLUTO. We developed an On-Board Control Procedure engine that loads PLUTO scripts, converts them into executable Python code, and runs them. I am a team player and have participated in several hackathons, both as a participant and organizer. I am proud to have won the prestigious Smart India Hackathon 2023. I am particularly excited about GSOC23 and would love to contribute to your organization. I am interested in working on the project idea “Support for C++ (fpm)” if it is available. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
