My name is Paul and i work for a very nice company. We invest in Domain Names and develop them into virtual properties. While they are waiting for their final content we use different monetization techniques to bridge the gap. This includes solutions offered to third party domain holders. Thats one of the reason why we have to deal with big amounts of data and tracking solutions... I believe in the power of vizualization to make sense of all the data while still enjoying the power of a plain terminal. Thats why i like my Macbook so much. We use many different languages, tools, platforms & libraries to solve the daily challenges... Google+
