Experience

Data Analyst/Engineer

Caterpillar, sarl
Pricing Data Integration

This is an ongoing project where the task is to perform ETL on data generated by ERPs of various dealers and customers around the globe. The cleansed data is then consumed by a team of data scientists to create dashboards and perform various machine learning operations to identify current sales and future opportunities.

Created a new workflow using DAGs in Airflow for extracting source data and landing the data in Snowflake after processing it.

Deploying Azure pipelines

This project involved setting up the data pipelines and deploying agents in Azure DevOps for tasks that were previously handled using Cron jobs. These agents deploy internal repositories and packages on clusters and perform migrations among several environments, viz., Dev, QA, and Prod.

This provided a better view to the Project Managers and Project Owners in understanding the data flow and source of discrepancies.

Thoroughly tested the data flow by unit testing every function and integration testing the entire pipelines.

Dealers' Portal

Created a Flask App-builder website for clients to log their data and to provide a feedback on current data. Creating this feedback loop reduced re-work and made the next steps in the pipeline, such as data processing and logic building much faster and efficient.

Data Engineering Portal

Created a website for the data engineering team to host their documentation, visualizations, and naming standards. The website is currently hosted internally.

The website was created using HTML, bootstrap, and Javascript. It converts markdown file from several projects into static webpages using MkDocs.

Hosting documentation on a central website made it easier for the team to read and contribute to documentation. It also enabled searching and sharing of documentation across several team and functions.
