Dear MariaDB Developers,

I hope you are doing well. My name is Harsh Gupta, and I am a second-year B.Tech Computer Science and Design student at Madhav Institute of Technology and Science, Gwalior. I am passionate about databases and open-source development, and I am eager to contribute to MariaDB through Google Summer of Code 2025.

I have gone through the project ideas listed for GSoC and found the MDEV-28395 LOAD DATA plugins particularly interesting. I have experience with C++ and database systems, and I have been exploring MariaDB’s codebase to get familiar with its architecture.

I have prepared a draft proposal outlining my approach to this project, including my implementation plan and timeline. I would appreciate your feedback to refine it further before submitting it officially.

Could you please review my proposal and provide any suggestions for improvement? Also, I would love to connect with potential mentors to discuss the project's scope and feasibility.

Looking forward to your guidance and feedback!

Best regards,
Harsh Gupta
