Nicole Lim developed an end-to-end news processing pipeline in the Jingyong14/HPDP02 repository, focusing on real-time sentiment analysis for Free Malaysia Today articles. She architected a Dockerized environment integrating Zookeeper, Kafka, Spark, and Elasticsearch, enabling scalable ingestion and analysis of news data. Using Python, she built a Kafka producer to scrape and publish articles, while a Spark streaming job applied a pre-trained sentiment model, exporting results to both CSV and Elasticsearch for downstream analysis. Nicole also updated technical documentation to cover economic news, financial reporting, and market trends, demonstrating depth in big data engineering, content management, and technical writing.
