GSoC aspirant excited to explore plone | Introduction

Hi everyone,
I'm Rupal Patel Yadav, a final-year B.Tech student with a urge of always trying my hands onto something new and interesting. I have a strong background in MERN stack, with experience in React, Node.js, and MongoDB. Additionally, I have worked on AI-powered applications as well.
I'm currently exploring Plone's architecture, workflows, and development practices. I find its modern frontend approach with Volto (React) and its Zope-based backend fascinating.
I’m particularly interested in GSoC 2025 and would love to work on projects related to frontend (Volto blocks/themes) or backend improvements. I’m currently going through the Plone's training resources(https://training.plone.org/) and looking for ways to get involved.
Looking forward to learning from and collaborating with this amazing community! Any guidance on how I can best prepare for GSoC would be greatly appreciated. :blush:
