Please be sincerely advised that there can be fair and comprehensive review of your progress and
accomplishments (since your last performance review) only with your thorough and timely participation in
this self-review process.

1. List your most significant accomplishments or contributions since last year.

Deduplication - 
1. Performed deduplication, many a times using fuzzy matching on big size
databases with a large number of records. The data deduplication exercises
sometimes included text fields like Organization title, presentation title etc. For
such fuzzy matching MS SQL Business Intelligence tools were used.
2. Designed and implemented master table for state, country, role type. This enabled
frontend team to implement dropdowns for these fields. This removed possibility of
manual error, leading to significant reduction in data corruption for these fields.
Tweaked existing master tables like Presentation type, degree format, current
phase, etc. This ensured that possibility of duplication from occurring is reduced in
future.
3. Preformed deduplication directly at database by modifying duplicate profile-
presentation association, profile-publication association and so on.
4. Deduplication exercise often involved generating reports, interacting with KOL, DM
and SCIT team to confirm correct associations and creating scripts to make
correction at the database level

Performance improvement of internal tool - 

1. In the e-Profile Home page and Report page, optimized loading of data on need
basis rather than preloading all data. This led to significant improvement in
Home/Report page load time.
2. Improved performance of profile export functionality. There was significant
improvement in speed.

Scalability improvement – 

1. Improved scalability of profile export functionality. From 100 profiles, the

functionality was scaled up to export thousands of profiles.

Manager Comments

4. Please list any challenging projects that you were part of during the past year.

1. The deduplication projects were challenging because it involved learning BI tool

and implementing fuzzy matching on a large data. As the number of records
increase the complexity of the exercise increases exponentially. Also, these
exercises involves discussion and collective decision making.
2. The ETL projects were challenging because the learning of Pentaho meant that
the expected delivery time was short.

being part of the above-mentioned challenging projects.

1. These challenging projects involved inter-team discussions for arriving at

solutions. So, it was not only important to have good solution, but involved skillful

backup, monitoring after making changes and ability to quickly restore if things go
wrong was an experience in itself.
