 * High-throughput server-side collection: edge endpoints, batching, retries, and delivery guarantees
 * Practical grounding in consent and privacy requirements, including regional routing and data minimization

* Lead the collection stack end to end: browser tag, mobile SDKs, server-side endpoints, and the ingest path behind them
 * Define the schema and versioning contract, including compatibility across SDK versions already in the field
 * Lead identity handling that spans anonymous and authenticated records, across devices and sessions
 * Lead integrations with other CustomerLake products like Profile & Campaign Agents
 * Hold hard budgets on page weight, latency, and failure behavior, so that collection never degrades the host application
