Project Title:

Cloud Data Catalyst: Architecting High-Volume ETL & AWS Big Data Solutions

Project Objective:

This project offers a deep dive into Cloud Data Engineering where students move beyond theory to build and optimize real-world data pipelines. Participants will work with a modern tech stackAWS PySpark and Redshiftto design ETL frameworks perform data modeling and solve complex performance tuning issues for high-volume datasets. It is a comprehensive end-to-end experience in building the backbone of modern business intelligence.

Project Description:

This project aims to modernize and optimize the Cloud Data Warehouse (CDW) architecture by building scalable data pipelines and improving system performance.

The intern will work within a Big Data environment to translate business requirements into technical ETL (Extract Transform Load) solutions ensuring high-speed data processing and reliable storage.

The solution will include:

- Scalable ETL Frameworks: Design and development of data pipelines using PySpark Python and AWS EMR

- Advanced Data Modeling: Creation of logical and physical schemas (ERDs) and documentation for Redshift/Postgres cloud databases

- Performance Optimization: Monitoring and tuning of complex SQL queries and database transactions to handle high-volume datasets

-Technical Documentation: Comprehensive mapping of data flows and problem-solving logs to ensure system sustainability

Project Outcome:

Intern:

- Master High-Demand Tech: Gain hands-on experience with industry-leading Big Data tools including AWS (EMR/Redshift) PySpark and Python

- End-to-End Data Engineering: Learn the full lifecycle of data warehousing from initial schema design and modeling to building and deploying complex ETL frameworks.

- Professional Problem-Solving: Develop critical skills in performance tuning technical documentation and translating complex business needs into technical solutions.

Company:

- Optimized Data Infrastructure: Improve the efficiency and scalability of the Cloud Data Warehouse through modernized ETL pipelines and optimized schemas

- Enhanced System Performance: Reduce processing times and resource utilization by identifying and resolving bottlenecks in high-volume datasets

- Operational Sustainability: Strengthen the technical foundation with comprehensive data flow mapping and documentation making future system maintenance and audits more efficient

Required Qualifications:

Bachelors or Masters in Computer Science/Computer Engineering/Information Technology or related field through an accredited degree program during the time of internship

Preferred Qualifications:

Prior related internship or co-op experience

Demonstrated prior leadership experience in the workplace school projects competitions and etc

Project management skills i.e. the ability to innovate and execute solutions that matter; the ability to navigate ambiguity

Strong written and verbal communication skills
