About the speaker

I like traveling, also in IT world. I worked in different areas in IT (with different technologies). A lot of things happened in this time… I don’t remember all of them, but last 2-3 years I spend my time related with data. I was involved in building infrastructure for Big Data, I was preparing ETL (Hadoop stuff) and analyzed data (sales forecasting) and so on. In my free time I’m learning from MOOC (Coursera, Udacity, edX and so on), books and I take participation on the Kaggle. I love solve problem related with data.
