Hello Mentors and Developers, I am Viral Mehta, a student at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus. I went through the Scrapy GSoC 2018 ideas page and found all the projects to be very interesting. I found the projects *Scrapy performance improvement* and *Scrapy spider autorepair*, particularly interesting. I would love to contribute to Scrapy and participate in GSoC 2018. You can know more about me on: Linkedin: https://in.linkedin.com/in/viral-mehta-b76093102 GitHub: https://github.com/virmht I do have some open source experience and I would like to try my hand by implementing a small new feature and/or resolving bugs. I will be extremely thankful if someone could guide me regarding the same. Thanking you. Regards, Viral Mehta.
