Project 1: Enterprise Data Warehouse Migration to Snowflake
Role: Snowflake Developer / Data Engineer
Environment: Snowflake, SQL, AWS S3, Snowpipe, Streams, Tasks, Python, ETL Tools
- Analyzed existing legacy data warehouse schemas, ETL workflows, and data models to design an optimized Snowflake architecture.
- Migrated large-scale structured data from on-premise databases to Snowflake using staging in AWS S3.
- Designed and implemented Snowflake databases, schemas, tables, views, and stages for efficient data storage and processing.
- Built automated data ingestion pipelines using Snowpipe for continuous loading of data from cloud storage.
- Implemented Streams and Tasks for incremental data processing and change data capture (CDC).
- Developed complex SQL transformations and stored procedures to streamline data processing and implement business logic.
- Optimized query performance using clustering keys, micro-partitioning awareness, and query profiling.
- Implemented Time Travel and Fail-safe features for data recovery and auditing.
- Monitored and managed Snowflake warehouses for cost optimization and performance tuning.
- Designed end-to-end data migration strategy including data extraction, staging, transformation, and validation processes.
- Implemented multi-layer data architecture (Raw, Staging, and Curated layers) for structured data processing.
- Created external stages integrating AWS S3 with Snowflake for efficient data ingestion.
- Developed metadata-driven ETL frameworks to standardize data loading and transformation processes.
- Implemented data quality validation checks during migration to ensure data consistency between source and Snowflake.
- Used COPY INTO commands and bulk loading techniques for high-performance data ingestion.
- Implemented role-based access control (RBAC), masking policies, and secure views to ensure data security and governance.
- Automated data pipeline scheduling using Snowflake Tasks to reduce manual intervention.
- Performed query performance monitoring using Snowflake Query Profile and History.
- Optimized storage and compute costs by configuring warehouse auto-suspend and auto-resume features.
- Implemented data deduplication and incremental loading strategies using Streams.
- Conducted data reconciliation and validation reports to ensure migration accuracy.
