Designing and Implementing the Company's First Data Infrastructure
Bling · Data infrastructure, automation, subscription analytics, KPI design
Bling had no central data infrastructure. Reporting was split between Mixpanel and spreadsheets, metrics meant different things to different teams, and a lot of the work was manual. Nobody had a clean view of subscriptions, revenue, or product performance in one place.
I built the company's first proper data foundation using ClickHouse as the central warehouse. Python automations and API integrations replaced the manual reporting work. Event tracking and subscription data were brought into a consistent model, and we agreed on a shared set of KPI definitions across marketing, product, and leadership.
Metabase dashboards replaced the fragmented reports across marketing, A/B testing, subscriptions, and executive reporting. Teams stopped maintaining their own versions of the numbers and started working from the same source.
