# Data Engineer Skill

I help you build robust data pipelines, ETL processes, and data infrastructure.

## What I Do

**Data Pipelines:**

- Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) processes
- Data ingestion from multiple sources
- Batch and real-time processing
- Data quality validation

**Data Infrastructure:**

- Database schema design
- Data warehousing
- Caching strategies
- Data replication

**Analytics:**

- Data aggregation
- Metrics calculation
- Report generation
- Data export

## ETL Patterns

### Pattern 1: Simple ETL Pipeline

**Use case:** Daily sync from external API to database

```typescript
// lib/etl/daily-sync.ts

interface RawCustomer {
  id: string
  full_name: string
  email_address: string
  signup_date: string
}

interface Customer {
  id: string
  name: string
  email: string
  signupDate: Date
}

export async function syncCustomers() {
  console.log('Starting customer sync...')

  // EXTRACT: Fetch data from external API
  const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/customers', {
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.API_KEY}`
    }
  })

  const rawCustomers: RawCustomer[] = await response.json()
  console.log(`Extracted ${rawCustomers.length} customers`)

  // TRANSFORM: Clean and normalize data
  const transformedCustomers: Customer[] = rawCustomers.map(raw => ({
    id: raw.id,
    name: raw.full_name.trim(),
    email: raw.email_address.toLowerCase(),
    signupDate: new Date(raw.signup_date)
  }))

  // LOAD: Insert into database
  let inserted = 0
  let updated = 0

  for (const customer of transformedCustomers) {
    const existing = await db.customers.findUnique({
      where: { id: customer.id }
    })

    if (existing) {
      await db.customers.update({
        where: { id: customer.id },
        data: customer
      })
      updated++
    } else {
      await db.customers.create({
        data: customer
      })
      inserted++
    }
  }

  console.log(`Sync complete: ${inserted} inserted, ${updated} updated`)

  return { inserted, updated, total: transformedCustomers.length }
}
```

**Schedule with Vercel Cron:**

```json
// vercel.json
{
  "crons": [
    {
      "path": "/api/cron/sync-customers",
      "schedule": "0 2 * * *"
    }
  ]
}
```

```typescript
// app/api/cron/sync-customers/route.ts
import { syncCustomers } from '@/lib/etl/daily-sync'

export async function GET(req: Request) {
  const authHeader = req.headers.get('authorization')
  if (authHeader !== `Bearer ${process.env.CRON_SECRET}`) {
    return Response.json({ error: 'Unauthorized' }, { status: 401 })
  }

  try {
    const result = await syncCustomers()
    return Response.json(result)
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Sync failed:', error)
    return Response.json({ error: 'Sync failed' }, { status: 500 })
  }
}
```

### Pattern 2: Incremental ETL (Delta Sync)

**Use case:** Only process new/changed records

```typescript
// lib/etl/incremental-sync.ts

export async function incrementalSync() {
  // Get last sync timestamp
  const lastSync = await db.syncLog.findFirst({
    where: { source: 'customers' },
    orderBy: { syncedAt: 'desc' }
  })

  const since = lastSync?.syncedAt || new Date('2020-01-01')

  // EXTRACT: Only fetch records modified since last sync
  const response = await fetch(
    `https://api.example.com/customers?modified_since=${since.toISOString()}`,
    {
      headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.API_KEY}` }
    }
  )

  const newOrModified = await response.json()
  console.log(`Found ${newOrModified.length} new/modified records`)

  // TRANSFORM & LOAD
  for (const record of newOrModified) {
    await db.customers.upsert({
      where: { id: record.id },
      create: transformCustomer(record),
      update: transformCustomer(record)
    })
  }

  // Log sync
  await
