Steve Farr worked on the LBHackney-IT/Data-Platform repository, focusing on improving data quality and reporting accuracy over a two-month period. He addressed two production bugs by debugging and updating embedded SQL queries, using both Python and SQL to ensure reliable data aggregation. Steve corrected a syntax error affecting parking bailiff totals, restoring accurate business reporting, and expanded permit-type coverage by updating queries and switching data sources from staging to production. His work involved validating fixes against live data and documenting changes for traceability. The depth of his contributions lay in targeted SQL debugging and enhancing the reliability of reporting pipelines.

February 2025 — LBHackney-IT/Data-Platform: Delivered a production-data bug fix for permit counts. Updated SQL to include additional permit types, switched reporting data source from staging to production, and expanded permit-type coverage to provide a more complete count of permits and associated parking spaces. This improved reporting accuracy and reduced data discrepancies across dashboards. Change implemented with a single commit: 1130fbe594e3b6b48c580b1ed6a79d29a5ed7b25 (Mike's updated SQL with bug fix).
