Internal analytics platform for ad technology
Mediaforge (acquired by Rakuten)
200% query performance improvement · Self-service dashboards · Acquired by Rakuten
The problem
Marketing intelligence was fragmented across sales, marketing, and ad-creation systems. Existing analytics tools couldn't keep up with query volume, and teams lacked real-time visibility into ad-spend effectiveness.
The approach
Designed a centralized data warehouse with a purpose-built query engine optimized for the access patterns that mattered. Unified disparate data sources into a single platform and built intuitive dashboards for self-service analysis by non-engineering teams.
The outcome
Query performance improved 200%. Sales and marketing teams gained self-service dashboards, eliminating dependency on engineering for routine analysis. Standardized systems reduced maintenance costs. The platform contributed to Rakuten's acquisition of Mediaforge.
