1998
Here I am at one of the first "dot com" conventions in Boston in 1998. I became incredibly excited about working on creative projects for internet businesses and delving into technology, to the point where I couldn't imagine doing anything else with my life. My "traditional" lifestyle abruptly ended, and a whole new "interactive" life began, almost simultaneously with the birth of the online advertising field. It felt like I was still building billboards, creating ads and commercials, but this time, everything was digital.
Later on, I realized that I had started from the wrong angle - I should have begun by building the technology for broadcasting ads instead of focusing solely on creating them. However, this mistake led me to rectify the situation, and ten years later, I effectively became known as the Father of Viewable Impression, a pivotal development in the online advertising landscape.
