One of my best GSoC contributors for OpenPrinting was Akarshan Kapoor. He worked on scanning support in PAPPL (Scanner Applications, emulation of driverless scanner as easily portable and packagable scanner driver format). He also had an internship about Zephyr/IoT in Germany.

See the summary in the video he produced for UbuCon Asia 2025:
