Anisha Gupta, a recent Arizona State University graduate and GitHub Developer Relations Intern, shares her journey of discovering laser cutting and its potential to create inspirational artifacts from GitHub contribution graphs. Initially unfamiliar with laser cutting, Anisha was inspired by a mentor's dedication to open source projects and decided to create laser-cut versions of contribution graphs as a motivational desk accessory. This led her to develop an application that automates the creation of laser-cut contribution graphs, utilizing tools like Puppeteer for screenshots and Ruby gems such as Nokogiri and Octokit.rb for data parsing and API connectivity. The project not only facilitated the production of personalized business cards but also fostered community engagement, highlighting the collaborative spirit of the GitHub community and encouraging contributions to open source projects. Anisha's experience emphasizes the value of connecting with diverse communities and finding inspiration through innovative projects.
