Pipelines, not pottery!
We created an Extract, Transform and Load data pipeline to practise our skills. This was based on the provided totesys database and designed to ensure data integrity, cost-efficiency, and ease of access for business intelligence purposes.
The Team
Arman Mestari

gained hands-on experience in building data pipelines, working with cloud infrastructure, and designing scalable data systems. I’m now pursuing a career in data engineering—a field that complements my analytical approach and interest in solving complex problems. I hold a BA in Spanish (Hons) from the University of Leeds and a Master’s in International Politics from the University of Sheffield, bringing a multidisciplinary perspective to technical challenges.
Tech Stack

We used Github, Lambdas, S3, Github Actions, Github Secrets, AWS, AWS Secrets Manager, Terraform, Tableau. These were the most appropriate serverless computing solutions for an efficient and usable pipeline that also allowed us to practise and stretch our skills as Data Engineers.
Challenges Faced
We wish to develop our TDD skills in future projects, using pytest and mocking with Moto. We tested continually using different methods, but we would develop our proper TDD practices in future.
