I am an advertising technology professional with extensive experience working on demand platforms and supply side integrations. I have a foundational knowledge of the programmatic ad industry landscape after years managing 3rd party vendor partnerships and collaborating with platform leads on complex integrations and product launches.I have been able to leverage a decade of troubleshooting, debugging, and QA experience to become an expert in ad serving tag technologies and their functionalities including HTML, JavaScript, VAST, VPAID, XML, and JSON.Throughout my career I have been know for being able to quickly and effectively translate technically complex details into approachable information for clients, Account Managers, Sales, and Ops teams. This has been an important part of my ability to quickly resolve revenue impacting issues at scale. Additionally, I have a proven track record of converting some of these escalated client integration issues into actionable process improvements and product enhancements.My previous roles have also allowed for amassing a deep technical knowledge of programmatic advertising workflows including the use of openRTB. Evolving our ad platforms to adhere to the latest IAB standards has also allowed me to stay vigilant and up to date on the ever evolving regional user data compliance frameworks and best practices.
