• Implemented best practices and enabled advanced reporting by implementing star schemas in 3NF and using entities such as calendar table, hierarchy table (drill-through), and slowly changing dimensions.• Enabled a major national healthcare agency to perform ad hoc discovery of hot-button issues by building an application (with Endeca) that can narrow down customer complaints and identify root causes within a few short clicks. Achieved this by merging a variety of federated data sources including both structured and unstructured data, and incorporating extremely complex business logic into transformation of unstructured data using a combination of Regular Expression Taggers and Text Enrichment (Lexalytics).
