Interview: Andreas

This interview is done with Andreas Vourkos. So Andreas:

1. Tell us a little bit about your average Android development day or your work day

At Pollfish we constantly work towards the ongoing advancement of our Android SDKs in order to follow the latest technologies and trends.

2. What would you say are the ingredients for a successful app?

A successful app is an app that fulfils its purpose. If we talk about monetization which is what we specialize at Pollfish, a successful app is an app that has successfully embedded monetization techniques in its monetization strategy and is able to drive revenue without compromising user experience nor affecting retention.

3. What is your favourite part about working as an Android developer?

The favourite part of working as an Android developer is the need of staying up-to-date with new features being released on the platform every day while dealing on parallel with fragmentation and backwards compatibility. Moreover, being able to develop and make impact on a platform that has become a major part of most people’s lives out there, is quite challenging.

4. What your talk at Droidcon Greece will be about? What is the audience level?

At Droidcon we will present several tips and mistakes on how to form a successful monetisation strategy, as we have seen them by running Pollfish monetization network on thousands of mobile apps all over the world. This talk will be interesting for any mobile developer out there, beginner or expert, that is looking to make money out of mobile apps.

5. What are you most looking forward to at Droidcon Greece?

I am looking forward to meet fellow developers that share the same passion about the Android platform and exchange ideas and experiences.
