ETL Framework and Data Warehouse for Calculation Results

Migrated a Data Vault 2.0-based data warehouse with more than 250 billion rows and 2.5 TB of data to Snowflake. Additionally, I designed and developed a Python-based ELT framework to ingest incoming data consisting of thousands of files from multiple data sources in parallel. The data warehouse had to handle continuous updates of historical data while maintaining full data traceability.

Data Warehouse and Dashboards for a Data Wall

https://www.newswire.com/news/slemma-focuses-on-differance-of-being-data-driven-vs-data-informed-18957580
I designed and developed a data warehouse gathering YouTube views and engagement statistics necessary to track the performance of YouTube channels. One of the main goals of the project was to encourage data-informed decision-making processes. We achieved that by creating a data wall with dashboards.

Python API Wrapper

I designed and developed a Python API wrapper allowing the client to efficiently access a mission-critical API. The client was using a GUI based tool to parse and standardise postal addresses, requiring a lot of manual and time consuming work involving a Data Engineer. My solution offered an easy to use Python package to programatically interact with the SOAP based API and streamline work for both Data Engineers and Data Scientists.

Additionally I developed Lambda based Redshift functions serving as extensions for my package, allowing the Analytics team to use the API on-the-fly via their SQL scripts.
