RAW TO RELIABLEby Lee Yao

Data Engineer & Analytics Systems Builder

I turn fragmented inputs into validated systems and decision-ready data.

Reliable pipelines, tested models, and analytics-ready outputs built with Python, SQL, Snowflake, dbt, and modern orchestration.

Raw inputs → Validated systems → Trusted decisions

RAW TO RELIABLE / SYSTEM PATH / FIG. 01
Raw inputs become validated systems, trusted outputs, and usable decisions.

Currently Building

Systems in motion.

A current ledger of platform work, product development, and focused technical study.

  1. SEC Financial Data Platform

    Quarterly SEC filing data transformed into validated, modeled, and monitored financial datasets.

  2. Job Search OS

    A local-first workflow for job ingestion, evidence-based scoring, duplicate detection, and application tracking.

  3. Snowflake Engineering Practice

    Deepening Snowflake platform knowledge and preparing for the SnowPro Core certification.

Job Search OS

RAW TO RELIABLE / LOCAL-FIRST WORKFLOW / HUMAN REVIEW

Job Search OS

A local-first job-search workflow for importing job descriptions, reviewing duplicates, scoring role fit against stored evidence, and tracking applications.

JOB SEARCH OS / INTERFACE / FIG. 05
A restrained workspace for ingestion, evidence review, and application tracking.

One workflow, with human review at every step.

Human review remains part of every decision. The system does not automatically submit job applications.

Engineering Notes

RAW TO RELIABLE / DEBUGGING / SYSTEMS / DOCUMENTATION

Debugging systems, documenting the reasons.

Practical notes on data pipelines, Docker, Spark, Kafka, orchestration, and the failures that reveal how systems actually work.
