About Author

author

David Bauckmann


I have been working in online advertising for over 20 years, the last 10 years as a programmatic advertising specialist. Prior to that, I worked in SEO and originally in website coding. I have a degree in Geographic Information Systems.

I try to see challenges with an open mind, looking for overlap and context to find the optimal solution. "Nothing stands alone, everything is part of the whole."

Throughout my career I have tried to educate myself, and the faster technology evolves, the more I miss comprehensive textbooks. So I decided to help out and create some materials that I hope will help other people in the industry.
