KEY TALK
RADICAL INTERFACE EVOLUTION
An interface is the critical interpreter between people and their technology. In the near future, a paradigm shift will revolutionize our interfaces by causing them to recede, eliminating most layers of abstraction that stand between technology and experience and, ultimately, bestowing humans with superhuman capabilities. Join us as we explore these ideas and their implications for the future.

Statistics, math, data and stories are the tools she uses to help companies move toward digital transformation era. She leads the Apps design based on UX and the decision making process of each user. Her area of expertise includes Data Analysis with R, metrics and data storytelling.
KEY TALK
WITHOUT DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION THERE IS NOT DATA. NEITHER BIG, NOR SMALL
The talk’s main objective is to show the positive effect of apps designed to satisfy users’ needs and how the output is not just a great dashboard but a data story. We will cover this idea with real cases and the software engineering challenges involved.
Many companies want to adopt big data technologies for data driven decisions making, but when most of their processes are based on people intuition without metrics that allow to find hits and misses, the first step to achieve this goal is to make a digital transformation.
