Yesterday marked a month since I moved to Bangalore. Flooded with interesting assignments from both work places. The first two weeks went into hard-core scraping and data conversion. Taking down/mirroring couple of National Informatics Center’s servers etc. Incidentally, we started doing some analytics and couple of them are showcased here.
Third week of my life in the big city started with associating with the startup called Boost Tech. My role with them mostly involved designing a data dashboard, identifying data variables, visualizing them and bringing evidences from the research. Brij, the CEO, handed to me two of Edward Tufte’s awesome books on visualization of quantitative information. I’m enjoying my weekends and some hours of the weekdays, cruising them and exploring new ways of infographics.
Happy that you are enjoying the work :)
“Give to the world the best you have……… the best will come back to you…….”
And enjoy the work U do………
But don’t forget to take short break/rest. :-)
Keep going the gr8 work….
Take Care
Thank you Rijuka! Don’t worry about the break. I’m coming home on 29th for Eid.
Have said it once, saying it again “You are living the hacker’s dream”, getting busy with interesting and challenging work.
And yeah again loved the AzimPremji Foundation visualizations, and is right now wondering about the data powering them.
Thank you for putting it up here. Data sources are a mess. Mostly surveyed by government organizations. And they don’t follow any standard. Cleaning and harmonizing them kills a lot of time.
