Yash Khare

I am a third year at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, pursuing a Bachelor's of Technology in my desired field of Computer Science. I have been an active member of the open-source community of my college, amFOSS ever since I joined college. I help in mentoring the juniors who join the club, as well as organize several events such as open-source contribution drives and workshops. I am a GitHub Campus Expert for my community, amFOSS.
I am also an active contributor to the organization FOSSASIA, where I was a summer intern in the summer of 2019. I worked as an android developer and helped improve Phimp.me by learning more about openCV and editing images. I also worked on developing the Badge Magic application for FOSSASIA from scratch and am a core developer of that too. I was also invited to the FOSSASIA OpenTech Summit, on March 2019 in Singapore. There I took part in the FOSSASIA-UNESCO hackathon where my team bagged the second prize in the IBM-Cloud category. Currently, I am working in the field of image processing using openCV. My paper on image processing also got selected for ICOL(Internation Conference on Optics and Electro-Optics) at IRDE which is a DRDO establishment. Later, I was also selected as an intern at IRDE, DRDO where I worked on automatic target detection. I completed my Google Summer of Code with the Mifos Initiative this year working on the project, "Computer Vision Based PPI Tool 2.0". Currently, I am working as an MLH Fellow.
