+# Abhay Gupta - Google Summer of Code 2024
+
+## Brief
+
+**Contributor**: Abhay Gupta ([@professorabhay](https://github.com/professorabhay)) <br>
+**Mentors**: Hongchan Choi ([@hoch](https://github.com/hoch)),
+Michael Wilson ([@mjwilson-google](https://github.com/mjwilson-google)) <br>
+**Organization**: Chromium - Web Audio Team <br>
+**Description** - This project is about enhancing the Audioworklet by improving the implementation of the RingBuffer and creating a live test suite for Audioworklet.
+
+## What Was Accomplished
+
+In this project, I undertook a comprehensive restructuring of the HeapAudioBuffer and FreeQueue implementations to enhance their efficiency and optimize performance. This involved several key tasks:
+
+### Project Structure Enhancement
+
+I established a new `lib` directory within the `src` folder, specifically dedicated to audio worklet-related components. Within this directory, I created a `free-queue` subdirectory to house all relevant files.
+
+### Implementation of FreeQueue and HeapAudioBuffer
+
+I introduced two critical files: `free-queue.js` and `free-queue-sab.js`.
+
+- **`free-queue.js`**: This file contains the optimized implementation of the existing FreeQueue class.
+- **`free-queue-sab.js`**: This file implements the HeapAudioBuffer class, leveraging a more efficient design.
+
+Additionally, I authored a README document to assist developers in understanding and utilizing these components effectively.
+
+### Test Suite Development
+
+To ensure the reliability and performance of the new implementations, I created comprehensive test suites using Chai and Mocha. These test cases cover various scenarios, including performance benchmarking, input/output validation, and more.
+
+The test cases are organized within a `test` folder, containing the following files:
+
+- **`free-queue.test.js`** and **`free-queue-sab.test.js`**: JavaScript files containing the test cases.
+- **`free-queue.test.html`** and **`free-queue-sab.test.html`**: HTML files that enable the tests to be executed directly from a browser environment.
+
+### Documentation of Performance Comparison
+
+We also documented the results of the performance comparison between the `FreeQueueSAB` class and an external project. This documentation will provide valuable insights into the efficiency gains and help understand the improvements over existing solutions.
+
+### NPM Package Creation and Publishing Guide
+
+The next step involves packaging the `FreeQueue` and `FreeQueueSAB` implementations into an npm package. This will make it easier for other developers to integrate and use these optimized components directly in their projects. I created the guide for making the package and publishing it to the npm website for the project maintainers, as they can do it from their end.
+
+This restructuring not only improved the performance and maintainability of the codebase but also provided a robust testing framework that ensured the components function correctly across various scenarios.
+
+## Merged PRs
+
+- [**Consolidated the existing RingBuffer Implementation**](https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/web-audio-samples/pull/369):
+    - Created a new `lib/free-queue/` directory under `src/`.
+    - Added `free-queue.js` and `free-queue-sab.js` files.
+    - Added the code.
+    - Updated the imports/usage with new classes.
+- [**FreeQueueSAB: automated test coverage**](https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/web-audio-samples/pull/374):
