Business Analytics ETL Pipeline & Dashboard

This project involves building a comprehensive ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) pipeline paired with an interactive analytics dashboard for monitoring and analyzing e-commerce performance. The solution automates data processing workflows and provides real-time business insights.

• Created Python-based ETL pipeline processing 50K+ e-commerce records
• Designed Streamlit dashboard with real-time updates
• Reduced manual reporting by 50% through automation
• Optimized SQL queries achieving 35% boost in responsiveness
• Developed modular codebase with robust error handling
• Dynamic visualization of 5+ key business metrics

Extract Phase

• Automated data extraction from multiple e-commerce sources
• Support for CSV, JSON, and API data formats
• Incremental data loading for efficiency
• Data validation and quality checks

Transform Phase

• Data cleaning and standardization
• Business logic implementation for derived metrics
• Aggregation and summarization operations
• Date/time normalization and formatting
• Handling missing values and outliers

Load Phase

• Efficient loading into SQLite database
• Optimized table structures with proper indexing
• Transactional loading for data integrity
• Historical data versioning

• Revenue Metrics: Total sales, average order value, revenue growth
• Customer Metrics: Customer acquisition, retention rate, lifetime value
• Product Metrics: Top sellers, inventory turnover, product margins
• Operational Metrics: Order fulfillment time, return rates
• Regional Metrics: Sales by region, shipping performance

Python Development

• Modular pipeline architecture with clear separation of concerns
• Object-oriented design for maintainability
• Pandas for efficient data manipulation
• SQLAlchemy for database operations

Database Optimization
