Zepz

At Zepz, led migration of BigQuery datawarehouse to Databricks. Next step was Migrating off Composer managed airflow over to Astronomer.

Also led the two POCs on dbt with Databricks as well as Astronomer migration of AWS MWAA.

Tested and implemented full CICD and development GIT cycle with CircleCI.

Managed and designed architecture for data pipelines by setting up over 5 separate repositories for different teams.

Ingested one main transactional DB and one customer DB via HVR as a means for ODS operation.

Ingestion of sources into databricks using delta live tables.

Created and provisioned metastore objects and access via Terraform.

Streamlined RBAC policy for data engineering toolings to better audit requirements and safeguarding.

Wrote a spike about CDC and semi real time streaming using various procedures in databricks.

Migrated a few CircleCI projects over to Github Action.

Big Data Engineer

Ford Motor Company

Most recent project: 
IOT analytics- - Real Time Streaming
Designed global real time data streams to aid identify manufacturing damages such as scratch and chip on new vehicles.This resulted in significant cost saving due to reduce warranty claims.

    Initial pipeline: Semi-Real time data processing: 
•	Using Spark streaming or NiFi to receive, extract and load JSON messages into HDFS 
•	Using Hive SerDe or Alteryx, to parse and transform the JSON to tabular format
    Final pipeline: Real Time processing
•	Connecting Kafka to Spark and flowing thousands of messages per minute to HBase 
•	Query and visualize the data using NoSQL and reporting on the fly with PySark/Scala
•	GIT and Docker implementation in HPC Prod

Project 2: EOL (End of Line) Vehicle Testing
This project aimed at providing insights about tested vehicles prior final delivery to dealerships. This resulted in multi-million dollars in saving plus an easy user interface for manufacturing plants users across EU,SA and NA.
     Phase 1: Created a Quality Application reporting 
Had led analytics teams to gather information and execute a solution that met quality concerns. 
•	Utilized spark, hive and SQL queries over millions/billions of records 
•	Automated and designed workflow using Oozie in production cluster
    Phase 2: Replicating MAHLE Aftermarket,Inc API
•	Optimized, pivoted and tuned multiple queries in Hive and PySpark using Parquet and ORC

Project 1: Access and Security Control Dashboard
Improved Data Governance strategy planning and helped better data management in Hadoop

Verizon

VZ-SIM in a Security information event management project where extensive amount of log data is gathered and ingested by Flume/Sqoop stored to HDFS and processed using Pig Latin and Hive queries and reported and visualized by Tableau. The log agents, Flume sitting on the Application servers, Routers, Switches and Firewalls push the log files to Web API and land the data into HDFS or NoSQL HBase.
•	Analyzing log data using Hadoop processing tools such as Hive, Impala , Pig and Spark
•	Involved in data ingestion into HDFS using Apache Sqoop, Flume and Kafka
•	Used HQL and Pig queries t and custom UDFs o analyze, encrypt and  transform data
•	Developed and build pipeline processes to land and extract the data cubes for Tableau
