I am passionate about helping enterprises make informed decisions using data. The path for democratizing analytics needs a trifecta of right team, having a design centered approach and an agile process. I have been at the forefront of the data driven application revolution the past 18 years and am currently focused on building design-centered personalized data applications which is the last mile for widespread adoption. I learnt how to build self managed large scale distributed systems at Sybase and 3PARdata, real-time streaming applications at Celequest. In 2007, I realized analytics is about both performance and being comprehensive and co-founded jovianDATA. jovianDATA tagline was “interactive pivot table analysis on terabytes of data”. At jovianDATA we built an MDX engine that could run any report on multi-terabytes of data in secs. As we worked with customers in retail and automotive industry, we realized backward looking reports are only useful to an extent. To help make decisions, the software needs to prescribe actions and have been building a large scale decision support system at MarketShare. We have built a state of the art decision support platform and have reached leadership position for Marketing Analytics recognized by Forrester and Gartner. As we continue to increase our reach I have come to realize that the last mile for democratizing analytics and paving the way for large scale adoption is personalized data apps. Personalization needs to be built ground up from the design. These design abstractions need to marry data, math, user and/or group profiles and need to in-corporate speed, comprehensiveness as first order issues to tackle. Having a design centered approach not only helps understand the analytical use-cases better, but also helps reuse the common core design aspects amongst them. I have had a lot of fun being at the forefront of analytics and would love to hear thoughts, brainstorm about analytics or anything data related.
