Azure streaming platform

Brought multiple data sources into a shared streaming platform.

  • Built PySpark pipelines to ingest and standardize JSON events, contributing to a shared schema across data sources.
  • Combined streaming with batch retries for failed events and enriched orders with PostgreSQL customer data.
  • Made Spark SQL transformations configurable so business logic could change without code deployments.
  • PySpark
  • Spark SQL
  • Event Hub
  • Kafka
  • ADLS Gen2
  • PostgreSQL

Legacy ETL & production support

Supported commission calculations on roughly 30-minute batch cycles.

  • Maintained Informatica and Oracle workflows, adding transformations and loading logic for new files and tables.
  • Validated incoming files with Unix scripts for checksums and date integrity before ingestion.
  • Resolved production pipeline failures in coordination with the operations team.
  • Informatica PowerCenter
  • Oracle
  • Unix

Integration & orchestration

Connected independently developed modules into one end-to-end system.
