Research & Projects

Production-style projects focused on data pipelines, information retrieval, and machine learning systems.

P01 ETL · PostgreSQL

Retail Sales ETL Pipeline

Automated ETL pipeline ingesting multi-format data sources (CSV, Excel, JSON), applying normalization and cleaning transforms, and loading into a PostgreSQL schema optimized for downstream analytics and dashboards.
