"content": "<p><strong>Hi, everyone! </strong></p><p>I’m <strong>Fan Wu</strong>, but you can call me <strong>Wifi</strong>. I’m an undergraduate student from the <strong>School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University, China</strong>, majoring in <strong>Spatial Information and Digital Technology</strong>.</p><h3>Why I Want to Join This Project</h3><ol><li>I learned about this project through the <strong>GSoc program</strong>, and I’m excited to participate in the <strong>2025 GSoc</strong>.</li><li>Although I’ve gained many development skills in my classes, most of them are only applied to completing assignments, which feels repetitive and uninspiring. I believe contributing to an <strong>open-source project</strong> is <strong>meaningful</strong> and even <strong>romantic</strong>.</li><li>My major aligns well with this project, and I’ve heard from upperclassmen that this community is <strong>inclusive</strong> and <strong>supportive</strong>.</li></ol><h3>My Skills</h3><p>Here’s a list of my skills (I’ve included everything I could think of because I’m not sure which ones are most relevant ):</p><ol><li>I am proficient in using tools and frameworks like <strong>GDAL</strong>, <strong>PostGIS</strong>, <strong>OpenLayers</strong>, <strong>GeoServer</strong>, <strong>SpringBoot</strong>, <strong>MyBatis</strong>, and <strong>MongoDB</strong> to develop <strong>WebGIS applications</strong>.</li><li>I frequently use <strong>shell scripting</strong> in Linux to solve system problems and automate repetitive tasks—I find script programming incredibly cool!</li><li>I am experienced in using <strong>Git</strong> for version control and can manage team projects in a standardized way.</li><li>I have a basic understanding of <strong>geographic algorithms</strong> like <strong>Dijkstra</strong> and <strong>Floyd</strong>, which I learned during my studies.</li><li>I am comfortable using <strong>C++</strong> to solve algorithmic problems. For example, I once developed a (very simple ) <strong>flight reservation system</strong>. I also know how to use <strong>OpenGL</strong> in C++ to render <strong>DEM data</strong> and apply textures.</li><li>I am familiar with <strong>geographic data formats</strong>, such as <strong>SHP</strong> and <strong>GeoJSON</strong> for vector data, and <strong>GeoTIFF</strong> for raster data. I also know how to use <strong>Python</strong> for analyzing these data formats.</li></ol><br><br><a href=\"https://discourse.osgeo.org/t/gsoc-2025-introduction-from-wifi/112261/1\">Discuss this on our forum.</a>",
