Dražen Lučanin is a developer, data analyst, and the founder of Punk Rock Dev, an indie web development studio. He's been building web applications and doing data analysis in Python, JavaScript, and other technologies professionally since 2009. In the past, Dražen worked as a research assistant and did a PhD in computer science at the Vienna University of Technology. There he studied the energy efficiency of geographically distributed datacenters and worked on optimizing VM scheduling based on real-time electricity prices and weather conditions. He also worked as an external associate at the Ruđer Bošković Institute, researching machine learning methods for forecasting financial crises. During Dražen's scientific work Python, Jupyter Notebook (back then still IPython Notebook), Matplotlib, and Pandas were his best friends over many nights of interactive manipulation of all sorts of time series and spatial data. Dražen also did a Master's degree in computer science at the University of Zagreb.
