demet | 11 years ago | on: Startup conferences are (mostly) a waste of time

I don't think you will be improving much for next event based on this blog post (I am sure you will otherwise), since you just went through all the criticisms and basically just said "Nope, I don't agree." You didn't take it as constructive criticism, you are just completely denying the validity of OP's experience. Maybe you are right, maybe not, but it is absolutely clear that you are not actually thankful for the feedback.

Data Analyst

Budapest, Hungary - would like to work for a remote team.

Stack: R, social APIs (facebook, twitter, wikipedia, reddit, stack exchange, github - off the top of my head), some PHP, mysql and python scikit-learn

Resume: https://www.linkedin.com/in/metish

Contact: demy.mail [at] gmail.com

About: I am a social media data analyst/product manager. I lead www.diktiolabs.com (coming up with products we offer, doing market research before the company started and then preparing the actual reports, mining and analyzing data, talking to customers, holding workshops and conferences and leading a team of 5 people since then). We deal with mining and analyzing social media data using network science.

I have a background in mathematics (almost finished my BSc before transferring to computer science recently) and an MA in New Media. Academically, I am interested in computational social and political science; professionally I am interested in interesting datasets and questions to solve.

I have recently also realized that I really like talking to customers and coming up with new features and tweaks to products.

I am looking to work largely from home on interesting datasets and feel like a large part of an exciting company. My programming skills are sufficient to mine and analyze data. I have been coding in PHP for about 2 years now, but use R and python for most of my analyses. I am fluent in Turkish, Hungarian and English (I also speak a little French).

demet | 12 years ago | on: Always Hungry? Here’s Why

I've started logging calories recently and since I am short (160cms) and am only looking to lose 5-6 kilos, online calorie calculators advised me to go on a 1100 calories/day diet. I upped that to 1200 calories, because it would have been unhealthy otherwise, apparently and I feel like if I consume the right foods, then I can stay on 1200 calories a day somewhat comfortably. Eating out is almost always out of the question, though.
