Here is an interesting perspective on five trends which will shape the world of analytics and data according to Strata Conference chair Edd Dumbill published on O’Reilly Radar under ‘Data’ Tag (only first ten minutes apply to the topic).

I have just come up against an interesting article (read HERE) in New York Times about the age of Bid Data which talks about the increasing proliferation of recognizing the value of (Big) Data and the wealth of answers it can provide if harnessed, crunched and analyzed. The media has been generating a lot of hype around Big Data and its impact across all industries and this media piece certainly conforms to this trend but, unlike other releases I have lately read, it also provides a nice, general, example-rich and technically-leveled view on how Big Data and its utilization make headways in todays world.
My name is Martin and this site is a random collection of recipes and reflections about various topics covering information management, data engineering, machine learning, business intelligence and visualisation plus everything else that I fancy to categorise under the 'analytics' umbrella. I'm a native of Poland but since my university days I have lived in Melbourne, Australia and worked as a DBA, developer, data architect, technical lead and team manager. My main interests lie in both, helping clients in technical aspects of information management e.g. data modelling, systems architecture, cloud deployments as well as business-oriented strategies e.g. enterprise data solutions project management, data governance and stewardship, data security and privacy or data monetisation. On the whole, I am very fond of anything closely or remotely related to data and as long as it can be represented as a string of ones and zeros and then analysed and visualised, you've got my attention!
Outside sporadic updates to this site I typically find myself fiddling with data, spending time with my kids or a good book, the gym or watching a good movie while eating Polish sausage with Zubrowka (best served on rocks with apple juice and a lime twist). Please read on and if you find these posts of any interests, don't hesitate to leave me a comment!
