My first job out of college was to be a part-time data entry employee for the early-stages travel startup Hopper. I started by doing data entry, then I was offered to become the data entry team-lead. I was in charge of monitoring the content team's productivity, conducting recruiting tests, training new employees, reporting directly to CEO Frederic Lalonde.
Immersed in a highly innovative, fast-pace environment, I learned all about big data, elastic search, the daily life of developers, and how to turn a travel database technology into a successful product. Hopper since became one of the most popular travel app in the world with more than 30 million users. It has been valued $5B.
I was offered a full-time position a few months later. I then worked on defining the editorial line for Hopper Research Blog, along with data scientist Patrick Surry and now Hopper's Director, Dakota Smith, to showcase Hopper's expertise regarding the travel market.
