The fully autonomous system leverages several technologies and design methods including multi-threading, scheduled workflows, a queuing system, error handling, and concurrency controls. The system interfaces with another custom software used for data delivery and the Databricks API. As a result, the product decreased manual workloads by over 80%. Also employed best practices in object-oriented design for code readability and reuse.• Redesigned and modularized vast multi-process data system to improve performance and interpretability of code. Took advantage of Spark for computational efficiency in tandem with the Databricks API to automate background job runs. Utilized a combination of both SQL and Python to expand features for automation.• Developed robust ETL processes using PySpark and Delta Lake to automate ingestion of dependencies required in larger data systems. Implemented data quality controls to monitor performance of pipelines.• Built text mining programs in Python used for internal development. Includes various functions used to scrape large datasets and data systems.• Translated Random Forest ML model in R to production environment in Databrick using Python. Performed exploratory data analysis (EDA), feature engineering, and hyperparameter tuning using PySpark.• Aided in development and optimization of Python text mining tool used as a part of visualization software for an internal company project.
