GetFPV is a world-wide supplier of the most popular drone and FPV (First Person View) equipment. They ship all over the world and offer the industry's best customer service and overall shopping experience. After a few growth years, they were looking for someone to come in and build out their analytics infrastructure.
As Roy Fung, VP of Digital Commerce at GetFPV, puts it -
"We were looking for three qualities in a BI Analyst:
1) The knowledge this person has with Magento BI / RJMetrics. We don't want to pay them to learn the tool. Magento BI must be a native language this person speaks;
2) Retail experience on lots of BI reports we need to develop in the next 6-12 months. Knowing retail will make the development process go a lot faster with better results;
3) Personality: We are looking for doers who also are architects. Simply doing what we ask without thinking through it or challenging us will only get us both to a place we both will fail.

As a former executive from The Sharper Image, currently serving as VP of Digital Commerce with GetFPV.com, I am willing to back Akash with my reputation
Akash hit all 3 requirements and better. He treats our requirements like this was his idea and truly understands what we need and how we can do better with data analytics. He explains to us best practices when using Magento BI as well as some of the short comings of the platform. In addition, his turn around on every request is always fast. On larger requests such as building a new Item Master dashboard, it is a 1 week turn around (from initial requirement to finishing testing). Small requests such as a new report is always next day.
We are making better decisions in our business based on data intelligence in Akash's work. I'd strongly recommend Akash because I want him to help other companies just like he is helping us.
If you are not sure about Akash and / or this reference, please call my cell: 248-722-0209. I am happy to give you more detail. I know it is not easy to make a commitment with someone you never met, but as a former executive from The Sharper Image, currently serving as VP of Digital Commerce with GetFPV.com, I am willing to back Akash with my reputation. I hope that will get you to at least give Akash a try."
