Alicia Bennett

12+ years in digital analytics. I write about what actually works in real implementations — no vendor hype, no theoretical fluff, just practical guidance from someone who's debugged a tracking pipeline at 2 AM.

The focus here is privacy-first approaches, open-source tools, and making the analytics API layer accessible to the developers and data engineers who have to build on it.
