Manoochehri got his MIMS degree from the I School in 2010. With many years of experience working with enterprise, research, and non-profit organizations, his goal is to help make scalable data analytics more affordable and accessible. Manoochehri has been a member of Google’s Cloud Platform developer relations team, focusing on cloud computing and data developer products such as Google BigQuery.

Data Just Right is a completely practical and indispensable guide for every Big Data decision-maker, implementer, and strategist.
Manoochehri writes for professionals who need practical solutions that can be implemented with limited resources and time. Drawing on his extensive experience, he helps you focus on building applications, rather than infrastructure, because that’s where you can derive the most value.
Manoochehri shows how to address each of today’s key Big Data use cases in a cost-effective way by combining technologies in hybrid solutions. You’ll find expert approaches to managing massive datasets, visualizing data, building data pipelines and dashboards, choosing tools for statistical analysis, and more. Throughout, the author demonstrates techniques using many of today’s leading data analysis tools, including Hadoop, Hive, Shark, R, Apache Pig, Mahout, and Google BigQuery.
