Chronicles from our peeps.
The Other Side of Learning
Time runs faster in Aeste, between learning how to use new tools, reading documentation of new libraries, and the seemingly endless process of research that proceeds every step you’re taking in a project, it’s often hard to catch up with time. My second week in here wasn’t very different than Read more
Report Card
I have been involved with generating the report cards for participants of a competition. The report card will contain the candidate’s details as well as graphs that gives them a sense of how well they did in their venue, in their category, or among those who play the same instrument. Read more

Generating Infographics
To provide more value for the candidates in the competition, my task this week was to generate graphs which will be sent to them by email, that depict how well they did in relation to others. I started with using a TSV parser to pass the spreadsheet I generated earlier Read more
