<aside> 💼 My career started in IT on a biometric passport project, where I was in charge of customizing the operating system. I was surprised by how close it is to Bookbot – instead of photographing people, we take pictures of books, and fingerprint readers have been replaced by barcode scanners. In the startup for marketing attribution Roivenue, I had the opportunity to truly witness how having the right data assembled in the right way propels e-commerce businesses forward. Later, at Top4Sport, I experienced firsthand what it means to build a data warehouse and do BI for a company with over 100 e-shops in more than 40 countries.

Data Talk #113: Markéta Patáková (Knihobot) - Data Talk
The Emperor of All Maladies od Siddhartha Mukherjee, jen nečekejte happy end. Pro mě je to varovný příběh o tom, jak snadné je vidět v datech to, co chceme.
Without curiosity, it is hard to do data work well. This is especially true for in-house systems that lack tidy commercial documentation. I will always prefer someone imperfect but curious over a technically flawless person who isn't interested in figuring out how, why, and what it all means.
Having the chance to be involved in everything. Throughout a single day, I meet with people regarding data related to cash flow, e-shop sales funnels, and the quality of delivered books. My position allows me to maintain a high-level view of the whole company and transform it into a data model that enables us to put things into context.
