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

Arman Mestari

With a strong foundation in data engineering and a passion

for turning complex problems into effective solutions, I bring enthusiasm and technical skills to every challenge. My recent training through Northcoders’ intensive boot camp equipped me with expertise in Python, database design, cloud technologies, and problem-solving frameworks. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my skills and creativity to drive innovation. Eager to contribute to a forward-thinking team, I am committed to continual growth and delivering value as a Junior Data Engineer.

I spent 14 years as an academic researcher, author and

lecturer before deciding to upskill and train with Northcoders as a Data Engineer. I am happiest when I have a project, and I wanted to bring my experience to bear on the complex technical problems facing our increasingly data-driven society. At Northcoders, I have nurtured my interest in handling data responsibly and securely, and building solutions imaginatively and in close collaboration with colleagues and stakeholders.

I’m a data engineering graduate from Northcoders, where I

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

Tech Stack for this group

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.
