Real Projects, Real Outcomes

Customer Data Platform (CDP) · Google Cloud

Creating a unified customer view across 10M+ profiles

Built a cloud-native Customer Data Platform on Google Cloud to unify fragmented customer data across digital and transactional channels — enabling a single, trusted customer profile for personalization, analytics, and targeted engagement.

Customer identities from Google Analytics, Firebase, Salesforce, and CRM systems were resolved into a unified customer ID through a GCP and Dataform-based identity resolution pipeline, connecting anonymous digital behavior with known loyalty customers. A Vertex AI classification layer enriched anonymous users by automatically assigning interest segments such as women's fashion, family & kids, and dining, enabling more relevant customer journeys and campaign targeting.

The automated data pipeline continuously processes, updates, and maintains customer profiles, allowing marketing teams to:

  • Launch personalized campaigns and offers based on unified customer insights
  • Identify high-value segments and behavioral patterns
  • Reduce manual audience preparation
  • Automatically manage and prune inactive customer profiles

10M+ unified customer profiles ready for personalized engagement — replacing fragmented data and guesswork with a scalable customer intelligence platform.

Data Mesh Architecture · AWS

Enabling Marketing and Ecommerce teams to innovate independently

Designed and implemented a cloud-native Data Mesh architecture on AWS to decentralize data ownership while maintaining governance, consistency, and shared business intelligence across teams.

Marketing and Ecommerce teams gained the ability to build and operate their own independent data products and pipelines for Google Analytics, Shopify, and Klaviyo, using isolated workflows powered by AWS MWAA (Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow) and Lambda. A shared Snowflake + Treasure Data Customer Data Platform (CDP) layer provided a governed foundation for customer intelligence, enabling teams to share trusted data without creating dependencies between domains.

Architecture highlights:

  • Domain-oriented data ownership — Marketing and Ecommerce manage their own pipelines, transformations, and data products
  • AWS-native orchestration & automation — scalable workflows built with MWAA and Lambda for reliable data processing
  • Shared analytics foundation — unified access to trusted customer data through Snowflake and Treasure Data CDP
  • Data governance & interoperability — consistency, security, and discoverability while enabling team autonomy

Each team ships independently on its own timeline — reducing bottlenecks, accelerating delivery, and allowing Marketing and Ecommerce to innovate without blocking each other.
