Introduction

Personal statement

My name is Céline NOEL. I live in Paris and I study Computer Science at Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée University (UPEM). I am in second year of License and I would like to prepare a Master Image in double degree with an engineering school called IMAC.

GSoC

I want to participate in Summer of Code for several reasons.

First of all, I love programming. Really. Some people love playing video games (I do too), or doing sports, or singing, or whatever, me, I love programming. And I also love mathematics, and algorithmic, because I am keen on racking my head over problems and having the satisfaction of solving them ! Even if I hate the frustration of being unable to find a solution.

Second reason : compared to working as a cashier in a supermarket, participating in GSoC would be something really interesting, fun, and valuing. Of course, I am aware of the amount of work that I would have to provide to deliver a working and cleaned code at the end, but when you are working on something, rather by willingness and interest than by obligation, you take a lot of pleasure in it. This is, I think, the main reason I applied to it.

In addition, coding on a project for a complete summer would give me an overview of what the developer job is. For my own good, I would be forced to code depending on other people (the mentor for example) and other standards; this could really help me to become more flexible and efficient. The GSoC is also a good opportunity to make friends and contacts, to build experience in programming skills as much as in the professional area. For all these reasons, I am really motivated and I will do my best !

Disponibilities : I am most likely to be able to join IRC at evening and during the weekends, or holidays. I have nothing planned during the summer holidays. If I am taken for GSoC, I am not planning to do anything else. Maybe just giving some courses to some friends or friends's children (2 / 3 hours a week at max), because I enjoy teaching.
