PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Confidential, Parts Roanoke, VA

DataStage Developer

Responsibilities:

• Working closely with Team leader, Group Members and Technical Manager regarding any Technical and Business Requirement issues.
• Extensively Using Partition Parallelism, the same job would effectively run simultaneously by several processing Nodes each handling separate subset of Total data.
• Using DataStage Director to view logs for any errors and warnings.
• Using Surrogate Keys to keep track of Slowly Changing Dimensions (SCD).
• Adaptable, flexible, and scalable architecture: handled high data volumes with common parallel processing technology, and utilized common services such as connectivity to access a wide range of data sources and targets.
• Extensively using Pivot stage to pivot the source data to achieve required table structures like converting data from rows into a column.
• Using development/debugging stages to test the environment by creating samples of data from given high volume data or by creating mock data.
• Importing and exporting repositories across projects.
• Implementing ETL applications using both Oracle database and SQL Server database as sources and targets.
• Collaborating with multiple business analysts, data modelers, data analysts and solution architects to successfully implement and maintaining data transformation, interface designs, data quality and standards.
• Interfacing and working with quality assurance teams, database and web administrators, and business users to maintain corporate protocol in successfully deploying applications through different environments up to production.
• Extensively working with various stages like sequential file, dataset, lookup, peek, transformer, merge, aggregator, row generator, surrogate key generator, slowly changing dimension(SCD) and many more to design jobs and load the data in to fact and dimension tables.
• Implementing Local Containers for same job and Shared Containers for multiple jobs, which have the same business logic .
• Using stage variables for better performance and to reduce the complexity of defining expressions
• Extensively using DataStage Director for Job Scheduling.
• Extensively working on Error Handling.
