Hi everyone, I'm brightyorcerf and I'm currently a cs student.

I specifically chose to contribute to this organisation because of its potential for real-world impact. Tools like MUIOGO aren't just code; they are essential for data-driven decision-making in sectors that align with UN Sustainable Development Goals (like affordable and clean energy). I'm passionate about ensuring that the technical barrier to entry for this software is as low as possible (cross-platform parity) and the security is as high as possible.

I’ve been diving deep into the MUIOGO core, specifically focusing on the intersection of cross-platform reliability and filesystem security. My goal here isn't just to close tickets, but to help harden the project’s architecture.

I’m a big believer in the 'Secure by Design' philosophy. I recently submitted a refactor to move the app toward Anchor-Based Pathing, which I believe is critical for solving the persistent environment issues users have been facing.

Looking forward to collaborating with you all to make MUIOGO a very robust tool! 🤞

Hey everyone :D

I'm Aditya Kushwaha, a CS student at BITS Pilani, India, and really glad to be here.

I lead a research track on dynamic gesture grounding in collaboration with MIT and the Singapore-MIT Alliance (SMART) under Sense Lab at BITS Pilani, and I head the Product and Technology division for 180 Degrees Consulting on campus. Alongside the technical work, I'm quite deeply involved in public policy and economics, both through coursework and consulting, so I genuinely care about what systems like OG-CLEWS are trying to accomplish :)

On the open source side, Ive been an active contributor to the Aeon Toolkit (NumFocus), with a focus on numerical reproducibility, bit-wise parity, and stability . That's the kind of rigour I think matters a lot for the iterative convergence and cross-model data exchange at the core of OG-CLEWS.

Honestly, what draws me here is that this project sits right at the intersection of the two areas I care most about, rigorous engineering and macroeconomic policy. Contributing to work that informs sustainable development decisions at scale is exactly where I want to be putting my time.

Ive been lingering around the repo and seeing what everyone has been doing for the past week & going through the codebase to solidify my understanding.
If there's something you'd want me to prioritise, just let me know.

Looking forward to working with the community :D

Hello everyone,

My name is Olamide Caleb Bello, and I’m a software developer from Nigeria with a background in Economics from the University of Abuja. I’m particularly interested in the MUIOGO project and the integration of OG-Core into the platform.

I have experience with Python and C for backend and systems engineering, and I'm also a contributor to large open-source projects including the Git Project and OpenStack. I’m excited about the potential impact of tools like this for evidence-based policymaking, especially in developing countries such as mine.

I’ve been exploring the codebase and learning more about how the current system works, and I’m looking forward to contributing and learning from the community.

Thanks, and I’m happy to be here!

[SeaCelo]

Hi everyone. I’m @SeaCelo, Marcelo LaFleur, a Senior Economist at UN DESA. I have been working with the OG model since 2021, and with MUIO more recently. My background is mainly in Python, R, and related analytical tools, and over time I have become increasingly interested in open-source software as a way to bring advanced policy tools to countries around the world.

CLEWS and OG are both powerful models for national planning. They have already been used to help countries think through policy choices, evaluate tradeoffs, and assess development pathways. With MUIOGO, we want to make these tools much more accessible by lowering the barrier to entry and improving the user experience.

I’m very excited to work with all of you on a tool that is not just technically interesting, but also that I know will have real-world value in many countries.

[ShrutiS470]

Hi everyone,
I am Shruti Sinha, a Data Science and Programming student from India.
I was excited to see your project listed in the UNOICT mentorship program for GSoC 2026 because it represents exactly the kind of work
I am hoping to contribute to: applying computational tools to problems that have meaningful environmental and economic impact in the real world.
I know Python, mainly the data science Libraries, and I am new to open source contribution and mainly here to learn from the community here. Really excited to work with you all.

[RishabhMalviya]

Hello everyone!

My name is Rishabh Malviya and I am a Machine Learning Engineer with a background in Physics. I have worked on several different problems in my career - I've created localization modules for self-driving vehicles, I've developed computer vision models for sustainable fish farming, and also machine learning models for sales & marketing teams. My ultimate goal is to use my skills in ML and software engineering to build Reinforcement Learning agents that can tackle large-scale climate-adjacent challenges like creating smarter electric grid management, optimizing renewables deployment, and intelligently planning massive agricultural operations.

OG-CORE and OSeMOSYS/CLEWS are important models with a positive global impact. They're particularly interesting to me because they can also serve as high-fidelity environments for training RL agents. I also hope to learn about macroeconomic and energy system modeling through my work here.

I am new to open source, but I have a strong engineering background. I think I am well equipped to helping us achieve the goals of cross-platform compatibility and coupled converging runs of the OG and CLEWS models. I've put some comments on issues/PRs where I think I can contribute - #3 and #204.

I am looking forward to working with you all, and building something that will be truly useful for the world!
