Hi everyone,

My name is Nistha, and I am an undergraduate student currently applying to the Xen Project through the LFX Mentorship Program (Summer 2026).

I have a background in Python, Java, and _javascript_, and I am actively working on building my C skills as I explore the Xen codebase. While I do not yet have a systems programming background, I am genuinely motivated to learn and contribute to open source virtualization ,which is why Xen Project stood out to me.

I would love to get some guidance from the community on where a beginner can meaningfully start whether that is documentation, tooling, or smaller issues in the codebase. I am also happy to take on any tasks that would help me better understand the project ahead of the mentorship.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to being part of this community.

Best regards,
Nistha Sarawagi
