Answer 1

One of the most critical activities that I was involved in my Current IT job was migration of a total data platform of the organization to a New Platform. The client organization we were working for was a insurance giant in USA and the task was to migrate the system that was already in place to a totally new platform. We were aware of the criticality of the issue and the biggest challenge was that I was given the responsible to execute this alone and the review will be done by the client. Individuals who have worked in data analysis and business intelligence should be able to understand the pain what they have to go through in such cases because the amount of data is huge and we cannot afford to lose any data based because the history is more important and that needs to be safeguarded and protected. The process took 4 and a half months for me to complete and after this was done there were various issues related to compatibility as the form of the data was different existing methodologies started to fail and each and every functionality was reviewed and again enhanced.

I will highlight the task in the resume because I have used around 5 new technologies in the process like SQL, Informatics, Unix Scripting, Data Stage, Power BI, etc. and this gave me a lot of exposure in handling critical tasks. I took the sole ownership of the piece and any issue arise was reported to me which was taken care by me. There were a lot if communication each day regarding the change and once it was deployed live the issues started to increase because many applications started to fail because the owner of the applications did not conduct proper impact analysis of the migration and hence we again had to make provisions because live applications cannot go down. I believe that I have been benefitted from this activity as well because it helped me learn a lot and earning client appreciation as well.
