Hi everyone!

My name is Pavel Kolesnikov, and I’m part of GoodData’s product and product marketing team. I joined the company about 10 years ago, and I’ve been working in a number of technical customer-facing positions, including professional services, sales engineering, and product management.

I live in San Francisco with my wife and two kids, but I’m originally from the Czech Republic. I like online chess, running, sourdough baking, and coffee roasting.

I’m part of the team responsible for launching and running the new GoodData community. I’ve started this topic so my colleagues can introduce themselves, and I hope to hear more about you too.

Feel free to use this topic to share where you work, what you do, and how you use or are going to use the GoodData platform!

I’m excited to see how our customers use GoodData to build great analytical products. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Hello!

My name is Jiri, and I started at GoodData as a software engineer roughly five years ago. As I discovered how much I enjoyed working with customers, I began to transition to the developer advocate role and moved from Czechia to San Francisco.

When I’m not introducing our customers to the technical depths of our platform and its APIs and SDK, I’m probably either cycling, skiing, or hiking in the mountains. I also enjoy a good pint of pilsner at the end of a busy day.

Hello,

My name is Vilem, and I’m responsible for all things UI-related at GoodData. I have been part of the product team for just over three years. In the past, I have been involved more in the development side of things at GoodData, but I’ve recently moved into more of the business side of product management. 

I am based in Brno, Czech Republic. In my free time, I enjoy cycling both on the road and on mountain bikes. I also enjoy spending time away from the rush of the city, somewhere in the mountains where I can be close to nature.

Hi, I’m Petr, and I live in San Francisco. At GoodData, I'm responsible for customer education and enablement. People here call me “the professor,” because of my passion for understanding and explaining anything data related. My background is in data architecture and data modeling. 

In my spare time, I’d rather listen to Mahler than exercise any day.

Hi there!

 

I’m Jan. I joined GoodData three months ago as a product manager. I am responsible for the development of our data pipeline, life cycle management, and partnerships. I am a big advocate of data-driven and problem solving–based product management, so I’m especially interested in how our customers use our platform, what business problems they’re facing, and how we can help them solve their business problems. I’m looking forward to hearing from you and helping you!

 

I live in the beautiful city of Prague, Czech Republic. In my spare time, I enjoy road and MTB cycling (if you are ever in Prague, make sure to visit the villages around it, they’re so nice!), long-distance cross-country skiing, travelling, and reading (mostly topics around physics, product management, and self-improvement).

 

Looking forward to meeting you!

Jan

Hey, I’m Dan! I came to GoodData in January as a data engineer on the professional services team, with a background creating data pipelines for pharmaceutical data. I’m located in San Francisco, CA and excited to see what will be shared/asked in the Community!

Hey!  I’m Selena.  I was born and raised in San Francisco, California and studied Applied Mathematics and Biology at Brown University, specializing in genetics and evolutionary microbiology.  I have been working for GoodData for about 2 years, first as a Data Engineer on the Professional Services team, and now as a Customer Engineer on the Product Enablement team.  I love math, love learning, and love solving problems.  In my free time, I like reading, running, playing piano, urban hiking, backpacking, gardening, skateboarding, and cycling.  In 2018, I took 4 months off work to travel around South America by myself, which was an awesome opportunity to meet and be influenced by people from all over the world.  I am an avid feminist, and advocating for social justice and LGBTQ+ rights is very import to me.  I also write poetry and enjoy making stencil art. 

 

I am looking forward to meeting you!  Please reach out with any question, or anything you’d simply like to discuss. :relaxed:
