As you have probably already figured out, my name is Dominic Plouffe. I'm an all around geek which loves to spend most of his time on the computer. I've been working in the computer industry for as long as I can remember, starting out by cleaning the shelfs at a local computer store and working my way up ever since. I worked for many companies but most notably, Inly System, Jetform Inc, FuseTalk Inc (which I co-founded and sold in 2006), HotHardware.com, and now Apption/Gazaro.
I possess a pashion for "figuring" out complex problems, which is why I joined Gazaro a couple of years ago. I've always wanted to spend my days thinking about and writting complex algorithms and I feel lucky to go in to work every day. I spend most of my spare time learning new stuff and working out problems like the ones given by Google Code Jam.
Gazaro.com: Where I work. Great place to work with lots of very smart people. We have a product, PriceIQ, that offers competitive pricing intelligence to retailers and we have a shopping comparison engine. We use Python and lots of cool Open Source solutions, like MongoDB, Tornado, and Scrappy. If you're interest in joining our team, send me an email.
