Welcome to my first post on the blog! I am incredibly excited to share that I will be spending this summer contributing to the GNU Radio community as part of Google Summer of Code 2026.

The Project

My accepted project is Graphical interoperability between CyberEther and GNU Radio.

The ultimate goal for the summer is to successfully integrate CyberEther’s GPU-accelerated visualizations into GNU Radio. To achieve this, I will be building an Out-Of-Tree (OOT) sink module that bridges the two ecosystems, providing high-performance graphical sinks for SDR applications.

Community Bonding & Getting Up to Speed

I am relatively new to the RF and SDR world, but I have been learning a great deal over the past month. During the community bonding period, I have been meeting weekly with my mentors, Luigi Cruz and Håkon Vågsether. We have been outlining the project architecture and establishing the foundational knowledge I need to get started.

I am very grateful for their guidance so far and excited to be a part of this community.

What’s Next

The official coding period starts today! I will be using this blog to document my weekly progress, technical challenges, and milestones throughout the summer.

I will be sharing my updates over at the GNU Radio Matrix channel as well, and I would be very happy to receive feedback, code reviews, or advice from the community as the module takes shape.

Stay tuned for the Week 1 update!
