WORK HISTORY
Data Engineer @Acacia Center for Justice
Designed, developed, and maintained robust data ingestion and ETL pipelines using AWS (Redshift, S3) and Apache Airflow, ensuring efficient and reliable daily data flows for the UCP program. Architected and implemented scalable data models, including star schema designs, to support comprehensive reporting and applied research analysis.Collaborated closely with the Acacia REDA team, program management, and IT to identify and resolve data integration, migration, and data quality challenges, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and compliance across systems. Automated scheduled workflows and repeatable processes using Apache Airflow, AWS Lambda, and GitHub Actions, streamlining data operations and minimizing manual intervention.Developed and maintained detailed technical documentation for data systems, ETL processes, and schema migrations to support cross-team collaboration and continuous improvement. Worked closely with IT to ensure all data ecosystems adhered to data security and federal compliance standards, protecting sensitive immigration data while integrating seamlessly with Acacia’s internal systems.Integrated geocoding workflows into data ingestion pipelines using Python geocoding libraries and APIs, transforming raw address data into standardized geographic coordinates to enable enhanced spatial analysis and mapping of immigration cases. Leveraged the SharePoint Graph API to automate data exports and integrate reporting outputs into SharePoint, ensuring stakeholders received timely and up-to-date insights.Developed and implemented a dedicated Quality Control (QC) DAG for the monthly reporting process to automate data validation and error detection, ensuring accurate and high-quality reports were delivered on schedule. Transitioned legacy R-based processes into automated Python-based Airflow DAGs, improving efficiency, reliability, and maintainability across data ingestion, transformation, and reporting workflows.
