Hi everyone!

I’m Jana, a computer engineer from Lebanon. My native language is Arabic, but I’m also fluent in **English**. I have about a year of experience as a **desktop application developer** , working with languages like **Xojo, Fortran, C#, C (did multithreading in university), x86 assembly, Python**, and have **basic knowledge of Rust**.

Recently, I got the chance to use **Fortran** at work, and I was genuinely surprised by how fast it is! That made me even more interested in learning and contributing to **Fortran-related projects**.

I’m particularly interested in [Coarray Fortran Framework of Efficient Interfaces to Network Environments (Caffeine)](https://github.com/berkeleylab/caffeine)

Ever since I was a student, I’ve found **multithreading and multiprocessing** super fun. I’d love to get my hands dirty with **coarrays** and contribute to improving **Caffeine** so that we can fully unlock the potential of multiprocessors.

I’m currently exploring the project and wanted to ask if there’s a specific **issue or PR** you’d recommend I start with to get familiar with the codebase. Any guidance or suggestions would be really appreciated! Looking forward to learning and contributing!

You should email the group working on Caffeine directly at [fortran@lbl.gov](mailto:fortran@lbl.gov). I use to work with them on the project and I’m sure they’d be very happy to receive outside interest.
