Announcing our latest Community Member Spotlight... @fshahin31
Announcing our latest Community Member Spotlight... Faheem was one of the first Community Members back in December 2022. Since then, he's been asking excellent questions to help implement the Quantexa Platform and, more recently, sharing tech tips to help out other Community Members - which has earned him the accolade of our December Community Member of the Month đ Faheems is a Data Engineer with NextWave Consulting, we caught up with him to learn more about his experiences with Quantexa. How long have you been using Quantexa and what version do you use? I am currently using version 2.6.8 and have been using Quantexa since June 2022. Whatâs your favourite thing about the Community? My favourite part of the Community is how easy it is to find solutions or similar errors to the ones I'm facing. The threaded discussions make it simple to understand how the original problem was tackled, which really helps improve my approach to various challenges on my project. It's also great for staying up to date with the latest Quantexa updates. How often do you use the Community? I use the Community most days. Whatâs the best feature of the Quantexa platform? The best feature of the Quantexa platform has to be its User Interface (UI). It offers an easy and comprehensive view of vast amounts of data, which really helps us to understand the relationships in our data. Plus, the ability to customise UI components, like attributes and key client information, makes it even more engaging and useful. Whatâs the life hack everyone should know? One of the best productivity hacks I've found is using tools like 'Pomodoro timer' to focus on work in blocks without distractions. Also, I've been using an app called Opal which stops me from endlessly scrolling on my phone by removing access to certain apps for whatever time period I set. It's honestly a game-changer! Tell us a fun fact about yourself! I'm a very big fitness enthusiast who regularly goes running, gym, and CrossFit with my sight set on a 1:35:00 Brighton half marathon time in March 2025. And hopefully, work my way towards my first Hyrox in 2025/26! As a Member of the Month, Faheem will receive our December Member of the Month badge (worth 100 points) and a box of community-branded goodies. Want to know more about NextWave Consulting?

is a Community Superstar and you can see why! Since joining the Community whilst going through the Quantexa Academy, Fares has gotten stuck in asking interesting, thorough Q&A, attending Community events, and helping other Community members to solve their queries. This month we wanted to highlight Fares and his contributions to the Community to say thank you đ Fares is a Senior Data Engineer at Vodafone Intelligent Solutions (_VOIS), we caught up with him to hear more about his experiences using Quantexa and how 2 minutes could change your life. How long have you been using Quantexa and what version do you use? I have been using Quantexa for over 9 months now and we are currently running on version 2.4.4.2 Whatâs your favourite thing about the Community? I like that it's very structured, meaning that you can find any subject easily by using the tags and the Topics provided, which is amazing. The post/comment functionalities are also very good as you have a template to create the ideal post which really helps pointing out the important info. How often do you use the Community? I tend to use it quite often, whenever there is a query in the project, and we cannot find the root cause I search the Documentation Site and Community, and if I don't find the solution, I post the query myself. Whatâs the most exciting feature of the Quantexa Platform? For me, it's the ability to integrate multiple data sources intelligently to get a unified record with the ability to control how the integration happens. This feature is very powerful not just in AML but in many other use cases like sales for example. Whatâs the life hack everyone should know? One life hack everyone should know is the 2-minute rule. If something takes less than two minutes to do, do it immediately. This helps prevent small tasks from piling up, reduces procrastination, and keeps your to-do list manageable. It's a simple way to stay productive and organized in both personal and professional life. Whatâs your favourite food and why? My favorite food is Koshari, it's a delicious mix of rice, lentils, pasta, and chickpeas topped with spicy tomato sauce and crispy onions. It's the ultimate Egyptian comfort food, combining rich flavors and textures, and it is extremely fast to prepare (can be done in less than 5mins), and yet very delicious at the same time.

joined the Community on the day it launched and since then has been earning points & badges and climbing the ranks. As well as asking clear and concise questions which have been receiving a lot of 'Awesomes', Eline has been marking best answers and helping others to solve her queries. Eline works as a Data Engineer and Technical Lead for the FPS Finance in Brussels (Belgium), we chatted with her to learn more about her Quantexa experience and how she unwinds. How long have you been using Quantexa and what version do you use? I started by doing the Quantexa Academy in February/March 2021 and I have been using the Quantexa Platform since May 2021. Weâre currently on version 2.4.4. Whatâs your favorite thing about the Community? I usually look into the All Discussions section. It's really helpful when youâre stuck on a certain topic or if youâre facing issues. There are already so many questions with an accepted answer, itâs handy to have a look at them when debugging or when implementing a new feature. On top of this, I love the fact that questions get answered quickly, in-depth, and personally. This gives me confidence when debugging as I know someone with more experience in this topic is helping me to solve my queries. How often do you use the Community? It depends on what I'm working on. If we're facing an issue in our project I'll use it multiple times a day, otherwise, I come to the Community to browse best practices & ideas to improve our project. Whatâs the most exciting feature of the Quantexa platform? I like the customizable expansion templates. Itâs pretty amazing being able to expand multiple nodes with the click of a button. By customizing the templates you have the ability to choose which type(s) of nodes you want to expand, which entities, which documents,etc. This creates detailed and exciting networks, it keeps the network view clean (as youâre not expanding everything by default) and it gives the end user the option to only expand and investigate what they are interested in. Whatâs your favorite food and why? I love Italian food, especially my homemade lasagna. Tell us a fun fact about yourself! Iâm not only a developer but also a dancer and musician. đđ¶đïž As a Member of the Month, Eline will receive our April Member of the Month badge (worth 100 points) and a selection of Community branded goodies including a Chilly's Water Bottle.

I have been using Quantexa for the past 2.5 years on version 1.7. Recently I have started working on upgrading to Quantexa 2.4.1. Whatâs your favorite thing about the Community? Even though I mostly use the Community for getting help on technical issues, the thing I like best is the blogs/discussions that give you an in-depth understanding about how the product works in the backend. How often do you use the Community? Generally at least a couple of times a week. Whatâs the best/ most exciting feature of the Quantexa platform? The feature we are most excited about is the ability to highlight the underlying nodes that triggered a score when you hover over a score on the scoring panel. Because of the complexity of the network that we have, our users are finding it really tough to figure out the triggering paths. We are looking forward to implementing this. Whatâs the best film youâve watched recently and why? Home. A Malayalam (a language from south end of India) movie that won the national award recently. Even though it was a low budget movie with no star cast, the storytelling and performances are exceptional. Whatâs your favourite food and why? Thalassery Biriyani. The aroma and flavour of it is amazing. For those who don't know its a type of biriyani that is common in the northern part of Kerala, a state from the south end of India.
