Ads Technology

Ads tech that connects spend to outcomes you can trust.

I work on the plumbing behind media — tracking, conversion APIs, attribution joins, and the reporting paths growth teams actually reconcile.

Ads & Measurement

From click to conversion — without the fog.

Clean parameters, signed events, server-side signals where browsers drop off, and logs you can audit when numbers disagree.

What Ads Tech Covers

Ads technology is the software and data layer behind media buying, selling, targeting, delivery, tracking, and measurement. It includes programmatic platforms, tracking pixels and event pipelines, creative systems, identity and privacy tooling, and the infrastructure that keeps auctions and reporting reliable under heavy load.

How I Help

  • Platform architecture for DSP, SSP, and ad servers
  • Tracking systems for impressions, clicks, conversions, and postbacks
  • Data pipelines for audiences, bids, and attribution
  • Fraud, brand safety, and privacy controls

Capture every signal from impression to conversion.

Reliable tracking is the backbone of ads technology. I design client-side and server-side tracking that stays accurate under privacy constraints, ad blockers, and high traffic.

Tracking Methods

  • Client-side pixels & event tags
  • Server-to-server (S2S) postbacks
  • Conversion APIs (CAPI / offline events)
  • First-party cookies & cookieless IDs
  • View-through & click-through tracking
  • Cross-device & cross-channel stitching

Tracking Operations

  • Deduplication & event quality checks
  • Click ID mapping (gclid, fbclid, and more)

  • Real-time pipelines into DSP / analytics

What Good Tracking Delivers

  • Accurate campaign ROI and attribution
