Hello World ! My name is Ajay Neethi Kannan. I am a second year student, pursuing Computer Science in Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee. I would like to work with  
the processing foundation this summer 2019 , by contributing to the p5.js library.

My journey with p5.js so far :

I was introduced to p5.js last year, through the amazing coding train (by Daniel Shiffman ), when I was attempting to make a game for my college project and I have been following it ever since.

I was very happy when I found out that the process foundation was open source, so I started contributing to this organisation from January, to give back something to the library and community, which has helped me in countless ways.

I have become familiar with the codebase of p5.js in these months, and I have a pretty good understanding of the structure of the p5.js library, by making minor changes, correcting bugs, opening and discussing issues, etc.

How I would like to help :

I am interested in the projects,

- [Improve Friendly Error System (FES) and documentation](https://discourse.processing.org/t/gsoc-2019-improve-friendly-error-system-fes-and-documentation/9555)
- [Adding GIF support for p5.js](https://discourse.processing.org/t/gsoc-2019-an-implementation-for-drawing-gifs-on-the-canvas/9046?u=ajayneethikannan)

I am looking forward to hear from the community and the mentors for further information .  
Thank you very much !
