Hello everyone,
I’m Md Sakir Ahmed, a Computer Science student from Polaris School of Technology, Bengaluru, India.
I’m happy to be selected as a GSoC 2026 contributor for pgRouting under OSGeo.
My project focuses on bringing the following Boost Graph Library algorithms into pgRouting:
- Planar Face Extraction
- K-Core Decomposition
The project aims to improve graph analysis capabilities inside pgRouting by enabling extraction of faces from planar road networks and identifying structurally important regions within large graphs.
Over the bonding period, I have been:
- Setting up and exploring the pgRouting development workflow
- Added my project details to the OSGeo Accepted Proposals page
- Created my OSGeo wiki profile and contributor page
- Started revisiting Boost planar graph internals and pgRouting’s planar module.
I’m looking forward to learning from the mentors and contributors, improving my understanding of graph algorithms and systems programming, and contributing meaningful work to pgRouting during the summer.
Regards,
Md Sakir Ahmed
