Insurance policy-history data platform

CGI · 2021 – 2023 · Data engineer

99.9% uptime

Kept Canada’s largest auto-insurance policy-history database fast and available, and built the data marts on top.

Context

A 2 TB SQL Server database of automobile-insurance policy history, with finance, analytics and delivery teams depending on reports built from it each month.

What I did

I managed the database and built production ETL/ELT pipelines for 22+ micro data marts, each under six tables and on a monthly SLA.

Outcome

99.9% uptime. Median queries under 200 ms. Report runtime cut from 30 minutes to 5.

Evidence

Client work, no public page.

Stack

SQL Server, T-SQL, PostgreSQL, Python, ETL/ELT
