The most amazing...
...project I've developed was converting buyers into sellers at eBay as part of a Hackathon project. This effort turned out to be an overall 0.1% revenue booster.
Employment
Experience
- Teradata SQL to Spark SQL Migration Project
Involved in a detailed analysis of SQL and jobs written in Teradata SQL. The requirement was to convert the whole communications logical data model (CLDM) related ETL pipeline to Spark. The pipeline had around 200 final tables and around 150 jobs. Wrote many UDFs for handling Regex-related calculations in Spark, which were seamlessly handled by inbuilt Teradata functions. Since Spark lacked those functions, I wrote UDFs to handle those cases.
- Experimentation ETL Code Refactor
This Hive ETL SQL was generated dynamically using Python to read from a YAML configuration file, where aggregations could be defined in the YAML. This was a huge win because it removed the need for making SQL changes and re-testing before every release.
- Converting Buyers Into Sellers Through Purchase History
As part of a Hackathon, I developed a code prototype at eBay for converting buyers into sellers. Based on purchase history and shelf life of items bought, buyers would be sent recommendations to sell the purchased items at the depreciated cost. The project was built in Teradata using user sessions and event/transaction-level information to derive recommendations. This effort increased the overall revenue by 0.1% and was considered a huge success.
- Python Wrapper for Hadoop Administrative Commands
Wrote a very detailed and complex Python Wrapper code on top of Hadoop commands to secure data in case of unintentional slip-ups. The project was a huge success and became a robust depository of code that mitigated a lot of pain points as more and more functionality was added.
- Senior Data Engineer
Developed Facebook videos pipelines ETL. Created Diffs in Phabricator to be deployed for adding/removing video attributes in production. Created deltoid metrics in MDF. Analyzed data and published reports in Unidash.
- Facebook Watch Data Pipeline Engineer
Built important metrics for videos such as genres, trending videos, songs, and movies. I also coded in Python and SQL (GitHub for code versioning), powered the ETL pipeline, added new features, and tuned the performance of previously written SQL.
