Asmita Dabholkar developed and maintained backend data pipelines for the UIUC-Chatbot/ai-ta-backend repository, focusing on scalable ingestion, indexing, and data management workflows. She implemented automated PubMed and project document ingestion using Python, SQL, and AWS S3, integrating APIs and distributed processing with Apache Beam. Her work included robust error handling, scheduled map updates, and embedding generation with self-hosted solutions, improving data freshness and reliability. By refactoring map management and introducing cleanup endpoints, she enhanced data integrity and maintainability. The technical depth of her contributions addressed concurrency, configuration, and operational robustness, supporting reliable analytics and streamlined backend operations.
