Experiential
Chronicles from our peeps.
A long journey ahead (Update March 2019)
On the first day of the internship, I set up my AESTE account and imported the PKCS#12 certificate into the chromium browser. As I started interacting with the linux environment, I spent some time reading through Linux commands online. Some of the most basic commands were shown below. cd: change Read more
Slowly Gitting It
Internship begins this week. As Dr Shawn was not around, I was introduced to the work environment by my colleague Gabriel. First things first, I got into setting up my work environment and got into knowing how things run in the company with the help of Gabriel. After the introduction, Read more
Progress Above All Else
If you have been following my blogs for awhile, it is very clear from the last few blog posts or so, that my progress on my current project has been quite slow. The main reason would be that I stucked myself trying to figure out how I could get the Read more

Hitting a Brick Wall
It was about time to start writing some code since I already got the gist of how the application is gonna work overall. Nothing much has been done at this point, but so far I had set up two REST endpoints to handle both Subscription Created and Updated webhooks. As Read more
Fitting the Pieces Together
At this point, I am more or less aware of how the whole flow of my project is gonna work, after having a fruitful discussion with Dr Shawn. Let me first summarize the flow from the perspective of the customer: Customers can subscribe to a license, in accordance to their Read more
