Wells Fargo, West Des Moines, IA ETL Developer

Feb’09 – Present

Wells Fargo Home Mortgage (WFHM) takes care of supporting Wells Fargo representatives in all branches in distributing home mortgages to customers across United States. The CORE ODS (Operational Data Store) is used to acquire, prepare and deliver data which was generated within the CORE on-line applications. The COD database (Consolidated Originations Database) of OLTP system is the primary data source for the ODS. ODS is divided into various schema’s like Raw, staging and static to ensure the proper cleansing and transformation of data to various downstream systems.

The CORE ODS delivers data primarily to the LIS (Loan Information System) from which the data is delivered to the various downstream systems including operational, reporting and analytical. We analyzed and performed ETL (Extraction, Transformation and load) operations on the ODS data of various subject areas like the RESPA Fee, Escrowing, Closing, Property, Landlord, Income, Asset, Employment, and Underwriter etc of the borrower into the LIS system.

Responsibilities

• Performed complex defect fixes in various environments like UAT, SIT etc to ensure the proper delivery of the developed data stage jobs into the production environment.

• Analyzed the various subject areas in ODS database along with Business Analyst to determine the exact business functionalities required for the delivery to the downstream systems, and also worked with the data Architect in re modeling the existing data model.

• Analyzed the functional specifications provided by the Data Architect and created technical specification documents for all the jobs.

• Coded complex logics using Aggregator, Transformer, Joiner stages by performing pivoting in Escrow and Employment subject area in Data Stage for Release 2.09 and in Pl/Sql for Release 3.09 as per the transformation logic rules. Also thoroughly unit tested the code both in Development and UAT environments.

• Restructured the Data stage jobs to enhance the performance and clarity of the job and also sent the exact data to the downstream systems

• Handled some of the data issues in the jobs, during the release of the project to send the appropriate correct data to the business users.

• Performed unit testing for all the jobs of various subject areas like Escrow, RESPA Fee, Employment, Property, Closing, Landlord etc

• Worked with the testers closely in determining both medium and high severity defects, that would potentially affect the downstream systems before the release of the project, and also fixed the defects before moving the jobs into production.

EDS Corporation, Plano, TX, Informatica Developer

Apr’08 – Oct’08

EDS is a leading global technology services company delivering business solutions to its clients for more than 40 years. The Development project builds their in-house Data Warehouse and Data Mart to store data from various financial systems. The individual Data Marts are built from the Data Warehouse to hold data about different applications, which are fed into the OLAP cubes. Reports are generated from these Cubes as well as from the Data Marts for the end users through the web interface.

We loaded data in one such mart ASLAP. We loaded with data related to full time equivalent of the employees, which are in the open and closed states and also resource request related information of the open, closed and cancelled states of the employees, which are viewed as reports in the web interface along with the related dimensions.

Responsibilities

• Defined various facts and Dimensions in the data mart and reviewed source systems and also proposed data acquisition strategy.

• End-to-end ETL development of the Data Mart.

• Developed over handful of Informatica mappings related to ASLAP data mart and thoroughly tested them from end to end for successful creation of the Data warehouse and Data mart, also created Mapplets and used them in different Mappings

• Created complex mappings using Unconnected Lookup, Sorter, Aggregator, and Router transformations for implementing slowly changing (Type II) and conformed dimensions.

• Performance tuning of the Informatica mappings using various components like Parameter files, Variables and Dynamic Cache.

• Developed stored procedures which were used across systems and various Informatica mappings for building different marts.

• Participate in system requirements and design specifications and also involved in the development of Star Schema.

• Extensively used Erwin tool in Forward and reverse engineering, following the Corporate Standards in Naming Conventions, using Conformed dimensions whenever possible.

EDS Corporation, Plano, TX, Informatica Developer

Jun’07 – Apr’08

The objective of this project is to build the in-house Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) of EDS to store data from various financial systems. Data was sourced from various systems like HR, Admin, and Finance etc… The Data sourced from these systems were used to build the Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) using the Inmon methodology of building the Warehouse. We built the junction tables and the cross reference tables which acted as intermediate tables and were used to store data from various sources and the junction table for representing the n: n relationship between the various sources. The Enterprise Warehouse acted as source for building the various Data Marts for various departments like Financial, HR etc…

• Designed and developed complex Informatica mappings to extract data from the staging area and build the EDW using Source Qualifier, Expression, Filter, Sequence Generator, Router, Joiner and Lookup transformations.

• Performed Unit testing and documented the results in the testing documents both in development and Integration environments.

• Troubleshooting issues in the production environment and help in resolving issues in the same. Used debugging tools to debug the flow of data and found the exact issues where expected data was not populated correctly.

• Performed impact analysis for various enhancement requests to find out the systems/programs that could be potentially affected by proposed change(s).

• Developed an eminent level of competency, and predicted issues to proactively resolve them in advance.

• Conducted Brown Bag sessions to share domain and technical knowledge with fellow team members.
