The star rating is a representation of the overall rating, calculated as the mean of the client satisfaction rating, the average client interview rating, and internal interview scores.
The client satisfaction rating is the weighted average of client ratings, with weights based on reviewed work hours. When no client rating exists, the approval fraction (approved vs. reviewed work hours) determines it.
If the client satisfaction rating exceeds the overall rating, it becomes the star rating. In the absence of client ratings, if the average client interview rating is higher than the overall rating, it becomes the star rating. If no data is available, the star rating defaults to the internal interview score.

Project: Manioc21
- Developed a system that farmers used to manage their activities like stock record keeping, sales, supplies, and field status monitoring. This helped them reduce manual work in their daily activities.
- The system was also used by cooperative societies to provide services like payments and communication updates with the help of Twilio SMS API.
- The main web application was built using HTML, CSS, Javascript, and D3 Js. This resulted in a dynamic application that could be used while offline and work perfectly in areas with poor internet.
- On the back-end we used Python/Django to mainly set up a Restful API. We used both Mysql and Postgresql databases but the latter was preferred because it works best with GIS data.
- Lastly, we used Git for version control and continuous integration.
