[vlc-devel] [INTRO] New contributor interested in contributing to VLC

[NIKHIL REDDY]

Hello,
My name is Nikhil Reddy, and I am a software engineer currently working at Netcracker Technology, where I contribute to backend and system-level development involving C++ and large-scale enterprise systems.
In my role at Netcracker, I work on performance-sensitive components, debugging complex production issues, and navigating large codebases. This has strengthened my understanding of system design, clean code practices, and collaborative development workflows.
I am very interested in contributing to VLC’s C/C++ codebase and am planning to apply for GSoC. I am currently setting up the build environment locally and exploring the architecture to better understand the different modules.
Additionally, I recently created an account on code.videolan.org, but it is currently pending approval. I would appreciate it if my GitLab account could be reviewed and approved to enable active contribution.
I would be grateful for guidance on beginner-friendly issues or areas where contributions are most needed.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to contributing to the project.
Best regards,
Nikhil Reddy
