I am Olzhas Kaiyrakhmet, computer science student at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, Korea. 

I am interested in contributing to code to MariaDB and participating in GSoC2016.

I do find the project, Cassandra SE v2, very interesting for me. Recently, I worked with Cassandra cluster and did look inside of it code. Tried to do some modifications. 

Also, I have some experience on contributing to distributive systems and databases as research intern in university. 

I have a great will to contribute for this project with your assistance.

Best wishes,

Olzhas kaiyrakhmet
