*Bio:
**A participant in Google Summer of Code 2013 under the KDE Community, I
have been a KDE contributor and fan for long. I have worked on
Kexi<http://www.kexi-project.org/>,
KDE’s database management application as a part of season of KDE 2011 ;
Calligra <http://www.calligra-suite.org/>, their upcoming office suite to
add various features to their word processor (Calligra Words ) and their
writer-friendly tool ( Calligra Author )  and regularly do bug fixes. My
work during GSoC involved increasing the usability and user experience for
Gluon Creator, KDE’s Game Creation Tool. A short overview of my proposal

A graduate in Computer sciences and engineering, I will join
ThoughtWorks <http://www.thoughtworks.com/> in the coming year as an

conferences such as the Desktop Summit 2011 at Berlin, Akademy 2012 in
Tallinn, Estonia and been a part of Calligra’s annual sprints. *
