ChevronData Engineer / Analytics Developer
Chevron has embarked on a journey of digital transformation in order to deliver more value to the business. A couple of the core imperatives of transformation are data being viewed as an asset and the vision of an enterprise-wide data lake. The image to the right (or below if being viewed on a mobile device) gives an overview on the type of MDW architecture Here are a few ways that I contributed to the afformentioned imperatives:
