A walkthrough of the coolest landscape project I worked on

This project was my first at the company. I remember I had just graduated highschool with no prior manual labor experience, so the July heat and my virgin blistered hands made my first two months a real struggle to survive.

My job was to stack the pavers next to my foreman to keep him “fed” to keep laying them quickly. I tried wearing gloves because I rubbed off my fingerprints carrying the pavers all day, but they taught me that real men don’t wear bitch mittens.

I loved my crew, my foreman was the best guy I have ever had the pleasure of working for. Around a year in, I herneated two of my disks on the job, and that was the last of this amazing job.

I still miss the smell of early morning dew on the soil of a summer jobsite.

Growing out my buzzcut, I think I’m officially in “crew cut” territory.

#1 on the sides, and I think I’m about a #6 on the top

I have a new project for Monday, and it’s an incredible opportunity, but I’m not sure where to start.

I have been pulled in to build a new (to me) type of dashboard that I presume will require custom graphics, but I’m curious if anyone here has seen or done similar.

My company manufactures silicon wafers as pictured above. On each wafer, there are ~300 piece parts that are tested for defects individually.

The ask is a defect heatmap (traceable to x & y axis) resembling the wafer/grid layout. Obviously there are no default visuals for this, but I have 0 clue what goes into making a custom visual.

Is this just a matter of learning python? Does anybody have any tutorials that they recommend for digging into this type of project?

I feel in over my head, but I believe this is a huge portfolio building opportunity. Any advice is appreciated!
