This year was first time I participate to Hacktoberfest and It's been such a nice experience!

### Intro
I am a Machine learning Engineer and freelancer interested in the intersection of AI and Healthcare (Medical Imaging specifically). 
I've been interested in Open-source for a while now but didn't know where exactly I can fit in, Hacktoberfest seem to have introduced me x) ✨
You can check me out on Github at [@iaminebriki](https://github.com/iaminebriki)

### Highs and Lows
As little as I did to this project but It was great to have joined [@Numpy](https://github.com/numpy/numpy) as a contributor after I have their official SVG logo files where it wasn't rendering their colors right on Figma and it feels great to take part of such a foundational library in Python that is dedicated to scientific computing and used by millions around the world ✨ 
My PR: [DOC: correct Logo SVG files rendered in dark by Figma](https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/24975)

I have also worked on some other projects:
In [free-programming-books](https://github.com/EbookFoundation/free-programming-books) which is a great repo collecting free programming books from all over the web in many languages sorted by subject and by programming languages, I have added some fee e-books too. 
=>[Added 3 'Notes for Professionals' books](https://github.com/EbookFoundation/free-programming-books/pull/10884)

I've also designed some logos with Figme for [skill-icons](https://github.com/iaminebriki/skill-icons) which you can use in your GitHub profile Readme. 
=> [Updated/added 26 logos (with Light and Dark themes) designed with official materials](https://github.com/tandpfun/skill-icons/pull/575)

Also found a nice initiative project [Data-Science-Flashcards](https://github.com/klaus78/Data-Science-Flashcards) which is a [website](https://klaus78.github.io/Data-Science-Flashcards) for Flashcards in Data Science, Machine Learning, Deep Learning and more for people to catch-up or to get to know these fields.

### Growth
Hacktoberfest 2023 was a great chance to hit some Git commands on the Terminal x)
I've learned not only to push code but to communicate raising issues to suggest features and discuss changes, learned also to document and follow contributions guidelines and resolving GitHub Actions conflicts ✨

So thank you #hacktoberfest for giving us the motive to leave some touch in the Open-source community, I'm looking forward to some more serious contributions to some great repos out there ✨ 

Shoutout to [Tree Nation](https://tree-nation.com/about-us) for offering to plant a tree on mybehalf on their missing to offset CO2 emissions. 
Check out [my "Markhamia lutea" Tree](https://tree-nation.com/trees/view/5280633) in Northeast Tanzania that is and will be responsible of 7.00 Kg less CO2 every year for about 150 years (Markhamia lutea's average lifetime) :D
