2017 turned out to be a wonderful year with so much to learn, retrieve and experience. By the Quarter end, I was able to have my first post presentation at Grace Hopper Celebration India!!
Poster presentation: Optimal financial planning through narrative visualization with advanced filtering
The poster emphasized the importance of wise visualizations and dashboard performance.
I explained about I made use of cross filter, the importance of DB performance, storytelling, and ensuring reader's freedom while navigating across the dashboards.
I, out of sheer joy, also told some of the audience who were keen on knowing more about it, about Strategy and Analytics and KDE which is one of the reasons behind the poster.The audience found the poster creative :)
The presentation started at 12:30 pm and ended at 2:30 pm. I got wonderful response and some interesting feedback and questions from students, working professionals from FactSet, Athena Health Group, Intel and many others ! :)
Special thanks to Indus Valley Partners for encouraging me to go ahead !!
Special thanks to Gurvinder sir, Gaurav Aggarwal, Ashish, Himanshu, Tushar sir, Clifton and Deepesh for the encouragement!!
Rebecca Parsons
I also got to attend Rebecca Parson's session, no wonder her key note was more than awesome. It was highly encouraging to see her viewpoints and how to tackle difficult situations while maintaining work life balance ! Thank you Rebecca, I wanted to meet you in person.
I was also invited by S.A.P as soon as the poster presentation was over for a exclusive networking with them. It was amazing to see the way that ensures a gender diversity not just at the initial dev roles but at the managerial roles as well. A bicycle, making use of machine learning and augmented reality based products at their lounge drew my attention. (Thank you for the awesome travel bag and other goodies :D )
Bloomberg
It was a dream to meet them, because I have always adored their dashboards. I asked them many questions about their UI and they answered everything patiently. Thank you !!
WEQ
I got to see some inspirational stories about entrepreneurship and the stories behind the emerging startups
Hands on labs
I attended the hands on lab session by Microsoft and got to know about the VR project they are working on. I also got to know by one of their developer how the suggestions on bing appears which was particularly similar to Decision Science's enterprise search. (Memories)
I attended a mentoring session as well in which we can ask questions and get a perfect solution to everything. I was amazed by the sessions, fellow poster presentations and other interesting stuff !!
Thank you for making 2017 an awesome one for me.
