2017-03-24 14:37:02 denissellu Hello,
2017-03-24 14:37:08 denissellu Sorry I'm late
2017-03-24 14:37:16 denissellu I'm ready for the interview now
2017-03-24 14:43:29 gmacdougall Hey. That's no problems.
2017-03-24 14:43:32 gmacdougall How are you doing?
2017-03-24 14:45:35 denissellu I'm good thank you
2017-03-24 14:45:37 denissellu how are you
2017-03-24 14:47:35 gmacdougall Doing very well. As I mentioned previously, we're looking to do some interviews for our blog to give people an idea of what to expect at SolidusConf.
2017-03-24 14:47:49 gmacdougall I'm just going to ask some questions, get some answers and we'll format it in to a sensible blog post
2017-03-24 14:48:25 denissellu cool, sounds good
2017-03-24 14:48:57 gmacdougall First off. Could you give us a short introduction to yourself?
2017-03-24 14:49:32 denissellu My name is Denis Sellu, I live Bristol and work for CookiesHQ
2017-03-24 14:50:38 gmacdougall What sort of work do you do there?
2017-03-24 14:52:47 denissellu I work there as a full stack dev, my work varies from day to day from, supporting clients, to building new apps and technologies
2017-03-24 14:53:52 denissellu It's an agency we have plenty of clients, which means almost different problems to solve everyday.
2017-03-24 14:53:59 gmacdougall How long have you been working with e-commerce?
2017-03-24 14:55:37 denissellu Before my time at cookies, on and off 5 years, since my time at cookies for about 1.5 years
2017-03-24 14:56:10 gmacdougall Has most of that been in Spree / Solidus or have you done other things?
2017-03-24 14:59:58 denissellu It's been a mix between Mostly a custom solution, Magento - when i worked with PHP, a touch of woocommerce
2017-03-24 15:00:56 gmacdougall Can you give us a quick brief on what your SolidusConf talk is going to be about?
2017-03-24 15:05:07 denissellu For my talk I decided to talk about an element of e-commerce that is sometimes overlooked, but just as important. I'll be talking how important Analytics is and what are the simple things you can do to start implement it in your application.
2017-03-24 15:06:01 denissellu basically how to harness analytics to better understand your customers and lead to better conversions.
2017-03-24 15:07:19 gmacdougall That sounds like something we're all looking for
2017-03-24 15:07:41 gmacdougall Do you have any good stories about a case where you've used this recently to make some good decisions?
2017-03-24 15:15:23 denissellu Most of the work we do are for clients and they make the business dictions, we provide the right tools and data for them to be able to do so. I can't go in to specifics as we are still working with the clients and they have on going campaigns.
2017-03-24 15:15:23 denissellu the work that inspired the talk would be a great example. They had built an MVP app and was successful funded to develop a more feature rich version - we were task with the job of doing so. We used segment and tracked and send events to a few analytics / marketing tools, (Intercom, google analytics). Using all the data they are able to see every inch of their customers behaviour. Now the features we are planning on adding are centered around that data that was received from analytics.
2017-03-24 15:16:33 gmacdougall What else are you looking forward to at SolidusConf?
2017-03-24 15:18:35 denissellu I'm looking forward to the hack days
2017-03-24 15:18:50 denissellu it will allow me to learn more about solidus
2017-03-24 15:20:15 gmacdougall What should the non-Brit's coming to the UK for the first time consider doing while in London?
2017-03-24 15:23:49 denissellu I actually grew up in outer london. I always find that a great way to get to enjoy a place is finding a good pub and mingle with the locals haha. If they have a day to spend I would suggest taking a tour of the very beautiful city - lots to see
2017-03-24 15:28:13 gmacdougall I'm sure I'm not the only one who's curious about your picture on the conference website. Any story there?
2017-03-24 15:30:35 denissellu haha, It was the company day out and It's just one of the many embarrassing poses I made that day.
2017-03-24 15:32:01 gmacdougall Sounds like your team has a good time
2017-03-24 15:32:15 gmacdougall I don't have too many other questions. Is there anything else you wanted to mention before we wrap up?
2017-03-24 15:34:23 denissellu It was, we had fun!
2017-03-24 15:34:23 denissellu No nothing more from me. I'm very excited about the talk

2017-03-24 15:35:58 gmacdougall We'll write this up in to a blog post and put it up sometime between now and the conference. We're spacing them out a bit
