| 21 | + as a mentoring organization after a six year break from the program. We |
| 22 | + are excited to be hosting five phenomenal students (representing three |
| 23 | +continents) who will be working on CC tech projects full-time over the |
| 24 | +summer. Here they are!</p> |

| 29 | + |
| 30 | + <p><em>I am Ahmad Bilal, a Computer Science undergrad from UET Lahore, |
| 31 | + who likes computers, problems and using the former to solve the later. I |
| 32 | + am always excited about Open Source, and currently focused on Node.js, |
| 33 | + Serverless, GraphQL, Cloud, Gatsby.js with React.js and WordPress. I |
| 34 | + like organizing meetups, conferences and meeting new people. I view |
| 35 | + working in GSoC with Creative Commons, one of the biggest opportunities |
| 36 | + of my life. Cats are my weakness, and I am a sucker for well-engineered |
| 37 | + cars.</em></p> |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | + <p><a href="https://github.com/creativecommons/creativecommons-wordpress-plugin">Ahmad will be taking ownership of [the CC WordPress plugin</a>, |
| 40 | + which simplifies the process of applying CC licenses to content created |
| 41 | + using the popular WordPress blogging platform. He will be updating it |
| 42 | + to use the latest WordPress best practices, resolving open issues, and |
| 43 | + adding new features like integrating with CC Search. Ahmad’s mentor is |
| 44 | + our Core Systems Manager <a href="https://creativecommons.org/author/timidcreativecommons-org/">Timid Robot Zehta</a>, backed up by Hugo Solar.</p> |
| 45 | + |

| 57 | + <p><em>I am Dhruv Bhanushali, a Mumbai-based software developer recently |
| 58 | + graduated from IIT Roorkee. I started programming as a hobby some five |
| 59 | + years ago and, having found my calling, am now am pursuing a career in |
| 60 | + the field. I have worked on a lot of institute-level projects and am |
| 61 | + excited to expand the reach of my code to a global scale with CC through |
| 62 | + GSoC. Apart from development, I am a huge music fan and keep my curated |
| 63 | + collection of music with me at all times. I also love to binge watch TV |
| 64 | + shows and movies, especially indie art _</em>films._</p> |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | + <p>Dhruv will be working on an original project, CC Vocabulary, which is |
| 67 | + a collection of UI components that make it easy to develop Creative |
| 68 | + Commons apps and services while ensuring a cohesive experience and |
| 69 | + appearance across CC projects. These components will be able to be used |
| 70 | + in sites built using modern JavaScript frameworks (specifically Vue.js) |
| 71 | + as well as simpler websites built using WordPress. CC’s Web Developer <a href="https://creativecommons.org/author/hugocreativecommons-org/">Hugo Solar</a> serves as primary mentor, with backup from Sophine Clachar.</p> |

| 84 | + <p><em>Hello! My name is María, and I am an undergraduate Computer |
| 85 | + Science student from ESPOL, in Ecuador. I have worked for the past 2 |
| 86 | + years as a research assistant. I have worked in projects including |
| 87 | + computer vision, the estimation of socio-economic indexes through CDRs |
| 88 | + analysis, and a machine learning model with sensors data. During my |
| 89 | + spare time, I like to watch animes and reading. I love sports! Specially |
| 90 | + soccer. I am also committed to environmental causes, and I am a huge |
| 91 | + fan of cats and dogs (I have 4 and 1 respectively).</em></p> |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | + <p>María will be working on producing visualizations of the data |
| 94 | + associated with more than 300 million works we have indexed in the CC |
| 95 | + Catalog (which powers CC Search) and how that data is interconnected. |
| 96 | + These visualizations will enable users to understand how much |
| 97 | + CC-licensed content is available on the internet, which websites host |
| 98 | + the most content, which CC licenses are used the most, and much more. |
| 99 | + She will be mentored by our Data Engineer <a href="https://creativecommons.org/author/sclachar/">Sophine Clachar</a> with backup from Breno Ferreira.</p> |

| 116 | + at my local food bank, and some occasional PC gaming, among other |
| 117 | + things. I’m now working with Creative Commons on Google Summer of Code!</em></p> |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | + <p>Ari will be working on creating a modern human-centered version of <a href="https://creativecommons.org/choose/">our CC license chooser tool</a>, which is long overdue for an update.

| 138 | + try to contribute whenever I can.</em></p> |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | + <p>Mayank will be working on building a cross-platform browser plugin |
| 141 | + that allows users to search CC-licensed works directly from the browser |
| 142 | + and enable reuse of those works by providing easy image attribution |
| 143 | + tools. Users will be able to find content to use without having to |
| 144 | + switch to a new website. Mayank will be mentored by CC’s Software |
