Hello OpenCV community,

My name is Harsh Patel, and I am a 3rd-year Information Technology student from India. I am interested in contributing to OpenCV for GSoC 2026.

I have experience with Python, FastAPI, Flask, and basic computer vision using OpenCV. I am particularly interested in the **QR / Barcode / ArUco Detector** project and exploring how deep learning can improve detection in challenging conditions.

I would appreciate guidance on where to start in the OpenCV codebase or any beginner issues related to QR/Barcode/ArUco detection.

Thank you!

Harsh Patel
