Hi @sing.li sir,  
My name is Nitesh, and I’m a computer science undergraduate interested in contributing to Rocket.Chat. I have experience with web development, particularly using JavaScript, React, and Node.js, and I’m keen to start contributing to an open-source project with an active community.  
And I need guidance to start, so I’ll be really thankful for your time and guidance.  
Best regards,  
Nitesh
