At Planet Depos, a leader in litigation technology specializing in remote depositions, exhibit handling, and transcription, I initially served as a Document Specialist. In this role, I expertly managed the processing of legal exhibits, conducted meticulous quality control, and handled data entry using the RB9 SaaS platform designed for court reporting.
... Subsequently, I transitioned into a Data Engineer role, where I played a pivotal part in developing an ETL pipeline to seamlessly migrate data from RB9 to a newly established cloud environment on Azure.
This project enhanced my expertise in cloud technologies, as I utilized Azure Automation and Power Apps to streamline workflows and data management. Additionally, I gained valuable experience with PostgreSQL, optimizing database performance and ensuring efficient data handling in a cloud-based infrastructure. This multifaceted role not only deepened my technical acumen but also solidified my proficiency in modern cloud solutions and data engineering practices.
