Afreen
Afreen Sikandara contributed to the OHDSI/Data2Evidence repository by engineering robust data integration and backend workflows over seven months. She developed and refactored FHIR data pipelines, implemented modular plugin architectures, and optimized Docker-based deployments to streamline clinical data access and processing. Her work included migrating cache schemas between PostgreSQL, DuckDB, and BigQuery, enhancing authentication flows, and automating end-to-end testing for reliability. Using Python, TypeScript, and SQL, Afreen improved system maintainability through code cleanup, infrastructure upgrades, and CI/CD enhancements. Her technical approach addressed data ingestion reliability, cross-database compatibility, and test stability, resulting in more efficient and dependable data engineering operations.
