Over two months, contributed to the BigData2025-Rev/p3 repository by building a production-ready data pipeline for national population analysis. Developed modular Python and PySpark components for data cleaning, transformation, and multi-source ingestion from HDFS, emphasizing code organization and maintainability. Implemented composite key generation, decade-aware processing, and metro status enrichment to improve data traceability and analytical depth. Enhanced the pipeline to export Power BI-ready CSVs and ORC files, supporting downstream visualization and regression analysis. Addressed data completeness by fixing summary level filtering and improved observability through schema visibility and documentation, resulting in a robust, extensible foundation for large-scale data analytics.
February 2025 monthly summary for BigData2025-Rev/p3. Key features delivered: - National population data analysis app with Power BI integration: Standalone workflow with modules to load data from HDFS, compute national totals, and manage Spark configurations. Processes ORC files and exports a single CSV ready for Power BI import, with an accompanying Power BI visualization file and baseline regression results to support trend analysis. Major bugs fixed: - Fixed missing summary levels 40/50 for 2010 and 2020 by casting SUMLEV to IntegerType before filtering, improving data completeness and reliability. Additional improvements: - Added metro status calculation to the data cleaning pipeline to enrich urbanization metrics. - Code cleanup and observability enhancements: removed debug statements, improved data schema visibility, restructured analysis folder, fixed corrupted local objects, and expanded documentation. Impact and accomplishments: - Accelerated delivery of Power BI-ready data assets, improved data quality and reliability, and strengthened pipeline maintainability, enabling faster, data-driven decision-making. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - PySpark / Spark configurations, HDFS data ingestion, ORC handling, data transformations, basic regression analysis, Power BI integration, data cleaning pipelines, observability and code hygiene.
