The most amazing...
...thing I've implemented was an operation data lake to ingest real-time data from Open Data Hub APIs related to different transport modes.
Employment
Experience
- Operational Data Lake for Transport
An operational data lake for transport that ingests and processes real-time trip updates and vehicle position data from IoT devices. I developed the data lake, which forms the data foundation for many business use cases as part of multimodal performance reporting.
- Web Scrapinghttps://www.teamrankings.com
A Python executable to extract the data from the TeamRanking website about on-the-day schedules and, for those teams, get the latest rankings for different categories. I created this using Pandas, openpyxl, and Beautiful Soup libraries to extract data from the NCAA website and generate an Excel file with all the teams and their strengths in different areas, which are color-coded.
- Monitoring Application for Azure Cloud
A Microsoft Power App to monitor resources and their consumption costs across multiple subscriptions. I developed the app and created functions to fetch the resource and cost information from Azure Subscriptions used by the Power App, which helps the cloud admin monitor costs and the resources created.
