Tim Ellis developed an end-to-end analytics platform for the CMSgov/ab2d-bcda-dpc-platform repository, enabling QuickSight dashboards through an Athena-based data pipeline. He architected the solution using AWS services such as Kinesis Firehose for data ingestion, Glue for data cataloging, and automated deployment with Terraform and GitHub Actions. Tim also addressed infrastructure hygiene by fixing Terraform and Athena configurations to ensure correct S3 bucket and KMS key references, improving data governance and security. In CMSgov/beneficiary-fhir-data, he removed a deprecated test certificate from production, further strengthening the security posture. His work leveraged Python, SQL, and Terraform throughout the process.
Month 2024-11 summary for CMSgov repositories focused on delivering analytics capabilities and improving infrastructure hygiene. Delivered an end-to-end analytics platform enabling QuickSight dashboards via an Athena-based data pipeline (Kinesis Firehose ingestion, Glue data catalog, and SQL templates), with automated Terraform deployment through GitHub Actions. Fixed Terraform/Athena references to ensure correct S3 bucket, KMS, and policy handling, and removed a test certificate in prod-sbx to reduce security risk. These efforts enabled faster, reliable analytics, stronger data governance, and a cleaner security posture across CMSgov/ab2d-bcda-dpc-platform and CMSgov/beneficiary-fhir-data.
