Project and Work Experience
Senior Data Engineer
Ubitricity - Gesellschaft für verteilte Energiesysteme mbH, Remote
The company is a provider of charging solutions and infrastructure for electric vehicles based in Berlin, Germany. My project task is to create a new data warehouse using cloud technologies to enable an aggregated and uniform view of the data from different source systems. The implementation is carried out using Google Cloud BigQuery as a data warehouse solution, Terraform for creating infrastructure as code, the ELT approach and Data Vault modelling for loading the data warehouse and Tableau as a visualization tool. The source data of approx. 10 GB are extracted primarily from MariaDB and MongoDB. In the project, it is my job to plan, operate and implement the entire process for creating the data warehouse infrastructure and loading processes. In terms of content, I am supported by ProductOwners and employees of the BusinessIntelligence team.

I am working for a large international group with a project team from a project service provider. My project task in the early stage was the implementation of complex KPI calculations using pandas and Jupyter notebooks. The goal was to decide whether the existing infrastructure for the KPI calculations can be replaced by a more modern infrastructure using AWS and Snowflake. In the next project stage, we wre focusing on the PoC-implementation of the data pipelines for one KPI using AWS, Snowflake, and AWS Glue. The current project stage include the production implementation of data pipelines for the whole product.

I worked for a large international group with a project team from a project service provider. My project task was the database support for Oracle DB 12.2 to check whether a replication of ERP data can be realized via an Oracle database in AWS RDS (Amazon Web Services - Relational Database Service) to Snowflake. The replication volume to be checked is approximately one billion transactions per day for about 50+ ERP databases with an aggregated size of 42 TB.

Senior Data Engineer
Avantgarde Labs GmbH, Germany (as employee)
My job included technical support for the ETL team of a large German e-commerce provider for electronic items; the ETL infrastructure consisted of 300 to 400 ETL jobs. On the one hand, I was responsible for creating, changing and optimizing ETL jobs using Talend Studio DI, and on the other hand for planning ETL processes and prioritizing tasks for a team of up to 5 employees. In the 5 years in the project three different Talend versions (5.3.1, 6.2.1, 7.0.1) were used. When upgrading the Talend Studio versions including the associated infrastructure components (Talend Administration Center, Nexus, git / SVN), I took over the technical coordination of the necessary steps in coordination with internal and external employees. A central database with a size of approximately 2 TB was used to combine the data from various source systems; until 2017 it was an Oracle database in version 11g R2, after that the database was migrated to PostgreSQL 9.6 and ETL infrastructure was transferred to the cloud (Google Cloud Platform using "Cloud SQL" for the database and VMs for the infrastructure components).
