I'm an ex-physicist turned big data geek. Life is weird like that. In my day-to-day life, I'm the senior architect for a company called Unata, where we try to build predictive models of consumer behaviour using machine learning to better help retailers understand the needs and desires of their customers.

Graphs, Edges & Nodes: Untangling the Social Web View session page
English session - Intermediate
Facebook figures out people that you might already know, LinkedIn tells you how many degrees of separation there are between you and the CEO of Nokia, and LastFM suggests music based on your current listening habits. We’ll take a look at the basic theory behind how some of these features work (no comp. sci. degree required!), and show how you can implement some of these features in your application.
Doing More With Less: Large-Scale Apps with Flask View session page
English session - Introduction
In this session I'll show you how you can take Flask, a so-called "microframework", and write readable, usable, testable and intelligent code for all of your macro-scale applications. We'll go through basic project structure, API design, ORM integration (including some popular non-relational databases), modular design with blueprints, and testing. By the end of this talk, you'll understand why Flask is the little framework that lets you do a lot, and be armed with the tools & knowledge to write applications of all sizes.
