Worked on the codeforboston/boston-liquor-license-tracker repository, building a robust data ingestion system for Boston licensing data. Developed a PDF scraper that extracts text from licensing board documents and transforms it into structured JSON, enabling automated analytics. Rebuilt the project’s scaffolding to standardize environment setup and streamline onboarding. Introduced a modular PDF processing pipeline with a plugin architecture, allowing targeted post-processing of text anomalies without altering core logic. Added an address normalization component leveraging the Boston SAM dataset to improve data quality. Focused on Python programming, data extraction, and web scraping, emphasizing maintainability, extensibility, and reliable data processing workflows throughout.
