Introduction (New Contributor Interested in Fineract)

[Anshu Asit Roy <ro...@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone!

I'm Anshu Roy, a third-year Engineering Physics student at NIT Hamirpur,
India. I work primarily in backend systems and fintech, and I'm
particularly interested in building reliable and scalable backend systems.

I've recently been exploring Apache Fineract, have set it up locally, and
am currently getting familiar with the codebase and its architecture. I
look forward to contributing to the project, learning from the community,
and taking up issues where I can add value. Glad to be part of the Fineract
community!

Thanks,
Anshu Roy

Dear newcomer, 

we kindly request that you begin your onboarding by reviewing our curated, helpful information under this link: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-2135

Every contribution that enhances the codebase’s safety, effectiveness, or readability is valuable! :)

Considering your availability and willingness to contribute, there are several areas where improvements are needed:

Bug tickets
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-2492?filter=-1&jql=project%20%3D%20%22Apache%20Fineract%22%20%20AND%20type%20%3D%20Bug%20%20%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20order%20by%20created%20DESC 

Code maintainability / readability
We have a significant number of compilation warnings due to various reasons. I believe at least half of these warnings could be easily fixed. As we work on resolving these warnings, the codebase could become safer and easier to maintain.

All the rest of the stories
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-2494?filter=-1&jql=project%20%3D%20%22Apache%20Fineract%22%20%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20order%20by%20created%20DESC 

All the rest of the stories that are considered beginner friendly
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-2489?filter=-1&jql=project%20%3D%20%22Apache%20Fineract%22%20and%20labels%20IN%20(beginner-friendly%2C%20beginner%2C%20begineer%2C%20beginners%2C%20Beginner)%20%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20order%20by%20created%20DESC

Hopefully, this gives you some ideas!

P.S.: Before you pick up a story that describes a new feature to be introduced, please send an email to the Fineract DEV email list to discuss whether it’s something we really want to include in Fineract.

Regards,
Adam
