A Rising Data Tide Lifts All Research Boats: New Career Path Options for Mark...Ray Poynter
Big data, small data. Quant, qual. Structured, unstructured. Self-reported, observed. And on and on. Data is collected and analyzed in many ways these days. It’s exciting, but how can one person be an expert in all of it? The short answer: you can’t. There are too many potential areas of specialization. But you can make some informed choices about how to plan your career in an increasingly data-fluent world. In this session, Kathryn will present research on job title and skill trends, and offer her recommendations for what they mean for specific market research and customer insights career opportunities. Is it time to refresh your career path vision?
Microfinance institutions are recognized as an effective method of directly improving the lives of those who are most in need as it provides financial services such as loans to poor families.
However, one of its obstacles in achieving its objectives to service the poor and broaden financial inclusion are fraudulent activities that are a threat to the institutions’ long-term sustainability.
Through proper dashboarding and early investigations of cases with identified deviations of key transactions, the capstone of Team Women5Dev composed of Rochelle Derilo, Jessa Gavilla, Gizelle Nacor, and Patricia Pangatungan used analytics as an aid for cross-functional fraud investigation for a microfinance institution. With appropriate levels of monitoring and tracking, now microfinance institutions can quickly point out potential fraudulent activities for improved risk assessment and operations.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
