Ygo’s story
After graduating in sociology, Ygo worked during a few years for a
government agency analyzing the data generated from polls and studies
in the field. Over time they learned to create software to help with
the analysis and produce results that their employer could grasp.
After moving to a non profit dedicated to Open Data, they got the
opportunity to learn more about development and improve their tools.
The primary challenge was to cope with a large variety of data and
format. Nowadays most of Ygo’s work consists of maintaning services
which publish data fetched from various sources. The data are
transformed and tailed to the client needs.
