In the past few months, I have worked mostly (but not exclusively) on custom reports, emailable reports, and the general reporting engine.
Just like many other Googlers, I am pretty flexible about the projects that I work on. I have worked in the area of mathematical programming, virtual webhosting, control centre for various services, and java programming for high volume web applications.
The flexibility that I have in deciding how to code and design our new features is challenging -- it makes the problem much more complex. It's also what I like most about working for AdSense because it provides room for creativity. People here really appreciate your thoughts, so I have a say in what should go into the final product.
We like being able to help our publishers. Please keep the feedback coming.
Apart from Google, which I really do use all the time, I like petfinder.com, where I found my dog, and doghobbyist.com. I also like nytimes.com and cnn.com for staying current with news.
I have Newton, a sweet golden retriever mix who comes to work with me every day. He was rescued from the shelter two years ago. He sleeps in a puppy bed under my desk. Many people at Google like him and there are some people who regularly visit my office to play with him.
Too bad we don't have a puppy dog in the solution space :) Given that constraint, I will choose to be the teddy bear. It is close enough.
