Faster data ingestion

The problem

Critical operational and customer data lived across multiple systems. Teams spent significant time preparing data manually before any analysis or modeling could happen — slowing decisions and limiting ML use cases.

Starting state

  • •Manual exports and ad hoc SQL
  • •Inconsistent data quality between acquisition and integration layers
  • •ML projects blocked by upstream prep work

What changed

  • •End-to-end ETL pipelines on Azure with logging and error handling
  • •SQL stored procedures for reliable ingestion across data layers
  • •Feature engineering pipeline to support modeling in Azure Databricks
  • •LLM-assisted ingestion agent to accelerate messy intake workflows

Results

  • ✓5× faster data ingestion via intelligent intake automation
  • ✓More reliable pipelines with structured error handling
  • ✓ML models fed by consistent, analysis-ready datasets
