Proposal
I have completed the requirements listed on the page and you can refer to PR#149 where I have submitted the pull request.
About you
IRC: dhruvag2000
Github: https://github.com/DhruvaG2000
School: Veermata Jijabai Technological Inst.
Country: India
Primary language : English, Marathi, Hindi
Typical work hours: 10AM - 7PM Indian Standard Time
Previous GSoC participation: I find embedded and IOT pretty interesting, given I have experience with ESP32, SIMCOM, ESP8266, Arduino UNO I think I will be able to excel in this project. This is the first time i am participating in GSoC.
About your project
Project name: Blynk Support for BeagleBone Black
Description
Blynk provides iOS and Android apps to control any hardware over the Internet or directly using Bluetooth. However, the current version of the app does not support BeagleBone Board. This Project aims to enable that support which will lead to more popularity of the beaglebone boards and also ease of usage will increase.

Experience and approach
I have decent experience in C++, C and Python. I have done several projects involving embedded systems like ESP32, Arduino UNO, ESP8266 and am well-versed with freeRTOS. I recently did a project on ESP32, in which I used the DHT11 sensor to display humidity and temperature on a local HTML server . Other than that I have developed firmware for a 3 DOF arm based on a ESP32 custom board. I did an internship with a embedded device startup where I developed IOT node solutions for them using the ESP32 MCU, and SIMCOM 7600IE where I published local sensor data to the AWS IOT Core. I actively contribute to open source and do a lot of mini projects throughout the year, you can find my several more interesting projects at my github page
