Impact: Mohit joined the Mifos team in March 2016 as a GSOC intern. He quickly went to work on adding browser-based offline access to the Community Application. Then he continued his outstanding work as a Google Code In mentor and tackled the remaining bugs in the re-skin so it could be finalized and published to the Mifos community.
Mohit established himself as a leader as he became the maintainer of the re-skin branch all on his own doing. He’s been mentoring other contributors, squashing lots of bugs, and reviewing and merging incoming pull requests.
