Built my first computer out of Lego bricks and learned to program soon after. Emergence, networks, modes of thought, limits of language are what makes me smile (and keeps me up at night).
Currently working at goopti.com helping the company become truly data-driven; setting up our analytics infrastructure (end goal: provide any answer stemming from data in 2 min or less); and building our real time predictive pricing engine.

$2.92/min per minuteNew ArrivalBecoming Data-DrivenSimon Belak • Ljubljana, SloveniaCreated 9 years ago in Product & Design / Metrics & AnalyticsI will guide you to start making decisions based on data (i.e. become data-driven), covering both the technical and the social challenges. You will get a distillation of six years worth of lessons learned helping 20+ startups and growth companies become data-driven. At GoOpti, the company where I currently work, putting these principles into practice yielded a 0.5M eur (+10%) increase in annual revenue after just 3 months. Key takeouts you will get: * An action plan how to gradually build up analytics infrastructure with minimal upfront costs; that can grow as your ambitions grow; and prevents loosing data to inaction (data we don't care for right now might be valuable to us in the future, but we don't want to pay a too hefty price for acquiring it just-in-case). * What are the biggest hurdles to becoming data-driven. * Where to look for quick wins. * The common pitfalls in reasoning with data (seeing patterns where there are none, optimizing for too narrow criteria, thinking in averages instead of distributions, assuming all causes are internal to the product, ...). * Metrics: how to go beyond crude metrics such as page views and develop a portfolio of metrics tailored to your domain and focus.Simon Belak Ljubljana, SloveniaNew Arrival
