If you've reached here because you're looking for Dana Hooshmand, well, here I am.
What I'm working on at Hooshmand.net
At Hooshmand.net, I write about business, coding, and tech.
I focus on writing guides on how to solve difficult problems with limited resources. It's a mixed bag of my professional and personal interests and gives you a snapshot of what I'm like to work with and talk to.
Some of my favourite posts are:
- How and Why I Turned Down my Dream Job for a Life of "Discomfort", which is the story of how I turned down a million-dollar opportunity to follow my dreams and launch Discover Discomfort
- Create Happiness in Face-to-Face Customer Service using Data: a guide to how to put together many tools to create a 360-degree feedback loop for increasing service NPS
- How to clone your best friend into a robot using Javascript, APIs hosted on Google Apps Script, Zapier and Slack
- Preventing and Managing Cafe No-Shows: a research guide built on interviewing dozens of cafe owners
I'm generally available for contract consulting, though I have limited time now. The vast majority of my experience is in online operations. If you want to contact me, drop me a line here.
Other projects
A few of my other (public) projects are
Discover Discomfort: a mission (by me and Jo Hyun) to learn more about the world around us by living in places that are challenging or unfamiliar to us and learning something difficult.
We are learning languages, skills (like martial arts and dance) and about new cultures, everywhere from the Middle East to Africa to Asia and Latin America.
Motofomo: This is my motorcycle blog. I write about bikes I've ridden, bikes I want to ride, maintenance tasks, and about motorcycle technology.
The Vanity Metric: I also write this satirical blog about my own professional life.
Aside from this, we have a number of other anonymous websites under the umbrella of our company.
