Worked on the cal-itp/data-infra repository to enhance and stabilize dbt-Metabase synchronization for multi-agency analytics. Focused on supporting agency-specific schemas and deployment flexibility, the work introduced branch-conditional logic for Metabase configuration and improved schema visibility controls to prevent unintended data exposure. Leveraging SQL, YAML, and CI/CD practices, the developer ensured that Metabase synchronization aligned with dbt-run completion, reducing schema drift and stale data risks. Dynamic dataset filters and resilient API integration were implemented to support robust, per-agency analytics. These improvements strengthened data governance, deployment reliability, and onboarding processes across agency dashboards without introducing new bugs during the period.
May 2026 monthly summary for cal-itp/data-infra: Focused on stabilizing Metabase-based analytics for payments data and enabling robust multi-agency configurations. Delivered stability improvements to Metabase synchronization: ensured all payments-related dbt models include enghouse_operator_id, enforced dbt-run completion before Metabase sync to prevent schema drift, and introduced dynamic per-agency dataset filters to align syncs with each agency's configuration. Implemented resilient discovery of Metabase connections with retries for transient API failures. These changes reduce MetabaseStateError risk, improve data freshness, and enhance multi-tenant analytics across agencies. Key tech areas: dbt, BigQuery, Metabase, API retry patterns, and deployment orchestration.

April 2026: Delivered enhanced dbt-Metabase synchronization to support agency-specific schemas and deployment flexibility within cal-itp/data-infra. Implemented per-agency payments and related mart synchronization across all agency databases, added branch-conditional logic for Metabase URL and API key in the deploy-dbt workflow, surfaced agency-specific connection documentation, and tightened schema visibility to prevent unintended data exposure during sync. This work aligns with dbt-metabase 1.6.1 and improves dashboard reliability, deployment flexibility, and data governance across agency dashboards.
