A brief introduction

Hi, my name is Avi Blinder

There is a line among the fragments of the Greek poet Archilochus which says: ‘The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing’.

Although both ways have pros and cons, I find myself more and more on the fox side.
So, this site is all about sharing my experience and knowledge in a myriad of fields, which range from Digital Marketing, Data Science, Big Data, and many other fields of my interest.

I hope we enjoy the journey .
