There is no spoon! by Diego Hernández

I’m very glad to announce my new professional era at Everis.

Data set was obtained using MapReduce technique applied to the servers log, feeding value-added Business Intelligence apps such as the image above

Company dataset was provided by Santander Grants, a subset of enrolled companies in Spanish SME 2014 Grant Program.

That word, written on the blackboard, was burned on my mind. And still burns me

As you can see, most of the spanish students and new graduates changes of domicile are in the south of Spain. Andalucía is by far the largest region where people under 30 are moving across the region looking for (first) job opportunities.

Picture above is extracted from an interactive chord diagram, composed by the aggregation of each user enrolments (over 300K)  in Santander Grants. I applied an analytical process for consecutive enrolment for each single user, composing a "transition map" or "enrolment routes".

These interactive diagram, integrated in a business inteligence strategy, will be very useful in next months for better understanding of users habits and market segmentation

Amazon Cloud technology made easy scalability and costs prediction

Let's put internet to work for me! :)

This is the perspective that has left the "brilliant" Elop speech two years ago with the largest technology company in Europe. I'm reading on Ars Technica five cover stories about the NSA practices bypassing everything and everyone ... When will we react?

After 2 years and 6 months my laptop (HP ProBook) burned its graphics card... for the next days I'll be a MacBook user: it's a pretty world, with shinning lights, bright colors... yes, it's 'cute'

First prototype for the Indoor RTLS project!

Very very cool project!

Cool project!

AWS made easy scalability tasks according the increasing web-site demand. It was no necessary a full-time maintenance team to keep up the site available with a 600+ concurrent users (according Google Analytics panel), just a few maintenance windows.

   * S3FS hasn't compatibility with the AWS's native data descripion for folder/directory (epic fail!). You should use S3FS-C instead of S3FS.

Sometimes the professional overzealous prevents us glimpse the most effective solutions. We get lost in a tangle of analysis and applied technologies, leading us to a chase in a increasingly complex maze. A few weeks ago, a major UK financial institution requested us an integration solution for it's university partner program, just to capture student data from enrollment process to feed an online portal for producing student's smart card. As you can imagine, each university is different. All of them are totally different. Different student management systems, different technologies applied, different access restrictions, different processes of admission and students and staff management ... Where is the border between pushing to reach the first milestone for the first university and compromise the project? Fortunately, a few days ago had been reviewing some aspects of AWS API. The solution was surprisingly simple in my mind: two-legged OAuth (over HTTPS). Once the user completes the online enrolment process, university’s website will redirect the student to the financial portal for generating student card, ensuring OAuth the accuracy of the information provided from the first portal. User data are traveling within the request, but are those just entering the user, thanks to OAuth signature ensures that the user has not altered. Completely seamless and immediate implementation in almost every university platforms, it's just construct a link!
