Experience
Check Clearing Process Migration
I was a part of the team that designed a solution to process these images and data at the same speed. Introducing the concept of Microsoft SQL Server in-memory OLTP, I helped the organizations load and process the images and data of around two million checks with very high throughput.
Serving as the organization-wide data warehouse architect, I helped the senior management in the decision-making and creating the most useful Tableau dashboards.
Healthcare Streaming Analytics Migration to Cloud
The existing platform, Apache Kafka Cluster, performed a lot of real-time recording operations like ICU monitoring, diabetes results recording, and blood pressure metric recording.
Using the Azure services like Azure Event Hubs, Data Factory, Data Lake Storage Gen2, and Synapse, I was the prime architect of the entire project from the data producer side to the data consumer side.
This migration project enabled our healthcare provider to apply predictive analytics to data in motion for continuous decisions, allowing them to capture and analyze data—all the time, just in time. The end goal is to save lives, shorten hospital stays, and build healthier communities through preventive care.
Retail Head Office and Stores Data Integration/Engineering
The whole workflow included both OLTP and OLAP processes.
OLTP processes were used to record and transfer the sales, prices, and promotion information from stores to the head office on a near real-time basis.
OLAP processes to turn the sales and other data into a reportable and presentable data warehouse using various ETL/ELT processes and then presenting them in intuitive dashboards in the Microsoft Power BI.
Migration of Data Warehouse to Google Cloud and BigQuery
Using Apache Beam in conjunction with Python, multiple data pipelines were created to load the data from numerous sources like the CSV files, Excel spreadsheets, Access databases, and on-premises SQL Server databases. The transformations had been seamlessly done using Python before finally moving the data to the BigQuery.
The BigQuery had then been exposed to the Tableau for creating multiple intuitive dashboards.
