    Production-Style Containerized Application Stack

    Built a containerized multi-service application stack using Docker Compose, NGINX, Node.js/Express, and PostgreSQL. Designed isolated Docker networks and implemented backend health checks with database connectivity validation. Created separate development and production Compose configurations with CPU and memory resource limits. Optimized Docker images using multi-stage builds, reducing a Go application image from ~900MB to ~15MB.

SQL & Database Architecture Externship with Breaking Games

Turn six messy CSVs into an analytics database and a Q4 dashboard that drives real business decisions. SQL + Claude.

Analytics Database DesignData AnalysisSQL FundamentalsData Storytelling

Overview

The externship converted six raw CSV data sources into a structured analytics database and a Q4 dashboard. The work cataloged each dataset, designed schemas and transformation steps, and prepared queries for reporting. Deliverables included the cleaned database schema, ETL mappings, and dashboard-ready SQL queries.
