Kim Hilke developed and enhanced demographic data preparation and analytics features for the BigData2025-Rev/p3 repository over a two-month period. Using PySpark and Python, Kim engineered an integrated data cleaning pipeline that standardized column names, enriched geodata by decade, and consolidated cleaning steps to improve data quality and reduce downstream errors. The work included implementing majority and minority race trend analysis across 2000 and 2020 census data, exporting results to CSV, and creating Power BI-ready reporting assets. Kim also reorganized the project structure for maintainability, demonstrating depth in data engineering, transformation, and business intelligence workflows without introducing critical bugs.

January 2025 monthly summary for BigData2025-Rev/p3: Delivered a major upgrade to the Enhanced Demographic DataCleaner for Data Preparation and Geodata Handling. Key changes include filtering by summary levels, integer casting for population columns, decade-based year/geodata enrichment, standardization of column names, integration of cleaning methods into the main script, and outputs prepared in CSV and ORC formats. Simplified geodata logic and introduced descriptors like id and urban_rural for final selection. This work was implemented through three commits that improved demographic analysis methods, cleaned up data methods and main integration, and standardized naming.
