American Campus Communities: Databricks data platform and microservices

Designed and built the pipelines and services to move American Campus Communities off on-prem systems and onto a modern Databricks lakehouse, structured on a Medallion architecture with dbt, along with the microservices that move data between systems.

What shipped

  • On-prem → Databricks migration pipelines on a Medallion (bronze, silver, gold) architecture with dbt
  • A data export workflow pulling from Snowflake and delivering CSVs to Azure Blob Storage
  • Asynchronous microservices in FastAPI, Pydantic, and SQLAlchemy on Azure Service Bus and EventGrid
  • A core connector API orchestrating workflows across services, part of a company-wide migration to Databricks
