Hi everyone! I'm Deepak Kumar S S, a GSoC 2026 applicant for Apache Fineract.
I'm a backend Java/Spring Boot engineer with 4.9 years of experience, most recently
working on the ASX CHESS Replacement project handling millions of trade settlements daily in TCS.

I've submitted two GSoC proposals:
  1. FINERACT-2439 — Self-Service BFF API (Large, 350hrs)
  2. FINERACT-2485 — Transaction Idempotency for Savings and Loans (Medium, 175hrs)

Just raised my first contribution — migrating integration tests from RestAssured
to fineract-client-feign as part of FINERACT-2441:
https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/5658

Happy to be here and looking forward to contributing!

Hi everyone! 👋 I've raised my second contribution PR for FINERACT-2441 (fineract-client-feign migration for integration tests):
PR: https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/5659
What it does:
Migrates `ClientExternalIdTest` from RestAssured to `fineract-client-feign`
  • Adds 7 new typed feign methods to `ClientHelper` for external-id operations (`addClientAsPerson`, `getClientByExternalId`, `updateClientByExternalId`, `deleteClientByExternalId`, `getClientAccounts`, `getProposedTransferDate`, `getObligeeData`)
  • Removes manual JSON payload construction in tests
Would appreciate any feedback or review! 🙏

This looks good @Deepak but please make sure you are fully finishing the migration, so once the new methods are added to use fineract-client-feign, the old ones to be deleted...
