GSoC 2026 Interest: BokehGUI in GNU Radio 4

Hello GNU Radio Team,

My name is Kiran Dharmar, a second-year Computer Science student from Vijayapura, Karnataka, India. I recently went through the GSoC 2026 ideas page and carefully read your organization's policies and expectations.

I am highly interested in contributing to the "BokehGUI in GNU Radio 4" project. The idea of building a remote, browser-based GUI module for GNU Radio 4 strongly aligns with my interests in backend systems, visualization pipelines, and open-source development.

Technical Background:
I have experience working with Python and foundational C++. My primary focus areas include machine learning systems, inference pipelines, and backend integration. I have worked with PyTorch, TensorFlow, and NumPy, and I am currently learning ONNX for model export and optimization workflows. I am comfortable working in Linux environments and collaborating through Git and GitHub.

Open Source Contributions:
I am actively contributing to open-source projects:

• Kornia:
  - PR #3520 (under review)
  - PR #3565 (under review)

• FOSSASIA Visdom:
  - Fixed an incorrect wildcard routing issue that affected static asset handling.
  - Implemented support for explicit X/Y axis values in heatmaps.

• Biopython:
  - Fixed URL construction logic in PDBList for non-RCSB mirror compatibility.

These contributions strengthened my understanding of backend logic, routing systems, compatibility improvements, and clean integration practices.

Projects:
I have built projects involving data pipelines, neural network training workflows, and backend-driven AI systems, including:
- Instagram User Data Analysis (Python, Pandas)
- VidSnap AI (Flask-based AI reel generator system)
- MNIST Classification using TensorFlow/Keras

I am particularly excited about BokehGUI because it combines backend processing with interactive visualization — an area where I want to grow deeply. I am committed to contributing consistently and would appreciate guidance on how I can begin preparing or contributing toward this project.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,
