Introduction | Harshith – OpenVINO Contributor & GSoC 2027 Aspirant

[harshith-roy]

Hi OpenVINO Team and Mentors! 👋

I'm Konda Harshith, a second-year Computer Science student specializing in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.

I'm passionate about AI/ML, open-source development, and understanding how real-world inference systems work. I'm particularly interested in contributing to OpenVINO and preparing for Google Summer of Code 2027.

I've started exploring the OpenVINO codebase and am currently investigating issue #38972, related to numerical discrepancies in INT8 quantized ONNX model inference.

My goal is to understand the project deeply, contribute meaningful and well-tested improvements, and collaborate with the OpenVINO community.

I'm excited to learn from experienced contributors and maintainers. Any guidance on getting started or contributing effectively would be greatly appreciated!

Looking forward to being part of the community!

Best regards,
Konda Harshith
